Hi!
I'm a creative, friendly and resourceful person. I'm not verified yet because $60!! I don't travel as much as I'd like, but I really go for it when i have the means. I'm an artist and musician. I design and make handbags, decorative pillows and other custom sewing projects. I'm not into garment construction at this point, though that is something I'm interested in

I'm into all sorts of adventures and learning experiences- I'd love to learn about you and how you grew up, your language and any sort of cultural exchange.

I'm transgender so I'm also cautious and rightfully so. It would be wonderful to find people to host me who are also trans/LGB/friendly to show me around your city or even just offer me a safe place to be in my body- get ready for the day and lay my head down at night not having to worry about my safety.

I'm invested in leaving spaces tidy and I'm all for work exchange- a bit of housecleaning or laundry. I'm no good at repairs, really, but I can handle a sponge :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going to be in Europe for about 7 weeks and hostels aren't really trans-friendly and hotels are outrageously expensive. Air bnb is OK, but ethically, I'm opposed to the buying up of properties for the sake of renting them as vacation hubs rather than to local families who need the housing to be closer to their jobs and community. Also doubleplus, I want to meet local people wherever I am, and learn about the place I'm visiting
