I am a sound artist and technologist who enjoys organic spaces, outdoor environments, nature, meditation, various healing modalities, and great adventures. I farm throughout the year when I can. I'm something of a nerd and an explorer, and I truly love getting to meet and know people. I love good company and conversation. I am a proud female-identified trans-woman and activist. I spend a lot of time within and supporting queer communities. I am interested in critical art forms and engaging artistic surfaces, urban art, underground/fringe art movements, and many forms of expression. I'm really big on kindness. I am a kind person, though sometimes quiet in my own head, there's nothing that brightens my day like a few good chats over tea. <3

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I have benefited greatly from communities who choose to share space, and open up their homes for others. I find immense joy in connecting with new people all over the world. I've done quite a bit of WOOFing and travelling for non-profits and humanitarian aid. The world is a beautiful place, and I'm quite happy to meet new people.
