ABOUT ME

I'm a full-time musician.. Americana/Country Blues/Folk singer-songwriter, and member of an all-drag rock band. I’m 2.5 years alcohol-free, love poetry, hiking, traveling, and connecting with new folks.

I've welcomed many a stranger into my home through CS and otherwise, and through careful discernment in weeding out the copy-paste spammers who haven't read through a single profile, have only had positive experiences

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's swap travel stories and laughs. Literature, adventure, open-hearted conversations about ambitions, heartaches, triumphs. I love a good intellectual or deep chat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook-ish, help you tidy up, entertain a bit, do my own thing, let you do yours, or just kick back if that's your style.
