I'm queer, non-binary, use they/them pronouns.

After several years trying to settle into different cities, I decided not to force it anymore. My health, physically and mentally, kept declining through that effort. I quit my job about a year ago and have been living out of my car - camping, cat sitting, doing work trades, and visiting family and friends. I am still working on my mental health and relaxing my nervous system; being in nature helps with that a lot. I give myself stick n poke tattoos which is very much an act of self care. Tattoos help me love my body :)

I love to doodle, read, crossword, watch tv, learn spanish, play with my nieces, take long road trips, eat mac n cheese, drink coffee, and be outside as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going to be driving through the southern part of the US for the first time! I don't have as many connections in that part of the country and though I do plan on some camping I would also love to have some city days and meet people. I've had great experiences with couchsurfing in the past and look forward to more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Comfort, warmth, conversation, smiles, laughs. I'm not into cooking, but I will always do all the dishes. I will keep myself and the space tidy. It's really important to me to be a good guest and I am always respectful of your home. Please let me know if you have any clear expectations or boundaries.
