I'm a vegetarian, genderfluid (Xe/Xem/Xyr pronouns), queer, femme person who likes to sit around chatting with people, walking around with folx and hang out by myself in my room. For intoxicants I like beer, wine and whiskey as well as the good ole herb. For sobriety I like coffee, water all day every day, nut milks and fresh juices.

I have been exploring nail art and slowly upping my makeup game lately and love getting gussied up for parties, nights out or just going grocery shopping.

I like being around people a lot but also need that solo time to recharge the batteries. While surfing I tend to be in "On" mode, providing conversation and entertainment in exchange for the hospitality.

I have done a little hitchiking, a little ridesharing and a little truck living as well as busses and planes in my trips around the country. Hoping to one day live full time in an RV so I can just go live in different towns for a few weeks to a few months at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel the country a few times a year and every few years I travel for a few months. I like being able to meet people with similar interests to secure housing in advance while in those towns. I have hitched a little and find I prefer the relative security of knowing where I'm putting my head that night and the idea of being able to hop on a website and find a stranger who wants to give you a spot on their couch and mebbe cook a meal with you is amazing.
