I'm a contra and blues dancer in Boston, I tend to dance to anything with a beat. I am quite adventurous, up for anything new and exciting- especially if it involves swimming. I'm addicted to water.

I'm genderqueer and use they/them pronouns, always happy to discuss queer theory and politics. I'm very much into feminism and intersectionality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see places from the inside, rather than as a tourist. I'm happy to do my own thing or to experience the city from your view.

Interests

Dancing, singing, swimming. Sitting on a beach. Grabbing coffee and chatting about anything and everything. Anything that involves adrenaline. Reading (paper, not plastic if I can). Spontaneous crazy plans.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I set up a facebook page for a crossing guard at the first college I went to. It was a small thing that I did at 3 am, but the next day I got the most sincere thank you from him. He was the most helpful and buoyant person on campus, making especially the new students feel supported and welcome, and after I made the page he got support and recognition from random people passing by during his day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to dance and craft, I can teach cross stitching and photography. I'm up for learning most things. As for sharing - a meal? A conversation?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to help with a DIY project if you need extra hands (painting a wall? putting together a dresser? I've even tried plumbing, with a youtube video or two). I'm happy to buy groceries, although cooking is not my forte. I can cross stitch, and I could trade something for your time. I'm always up for good conversation over coffee or tea. I'm fairly good at back massages :).
