I dance Lindy Hop and Blues semi-professionally – teaching, competing and social dancing – often traveling to do so. When teaching, I focus on de-gendering partner dance and making my class a safe space for queer, trans and gender nonconforming folks. I'm also a freelance graphic designer.

I am a huge data nerd and love asking people inappropriate questions and then making graphs about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couchsurfed (outside of Couchsurfing.com) a lot – I'm a clean house guest who cooks and plays well with kids/pets/friends!

Books
Douglas Adams is my absolute favourite. I once had to quote him at the beginning of a narrative essay because I didn't want my philosophy prof to think I thought I was getting away with plagiarism. I recently re-read Jane Eyre and really, really loved it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me about sueing a Belgian political party for plagarism. It was a ridiculous time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a dance teacher! I'll teach you to dance, and/or take you out dancing in your city (or mine)!

I can also teach you how to cook anything I know how to, or we can embark on a new recipe together.

I'm fluent in English and French, and will gladly help you out with either!

I also know a helluva lot about jazz music and dance.
