About Me

I'm a queer spiritual theatre kid who loves traveling and helping others do the same!

*Important Info for Guests*

Because we have a keypad entry (that we can't change), we'll have to be home whenever you come home. While we love our Couchsurfing community, we're not comfortable giving out our door code. We'll try to coordinate to the best of our ability so you're able to do the stuff you'd like to do in our wonderful city.

Also this is a Big Ol' Queer Family, so all guests need to be queer-affirming :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Punk and Indie Rock/Folk, especially Sufjan Stevens, Hole, Camp Cope, Arcade Fire, Courtney Barnett, and Anais Mitchell

Movies: Gimmicky movies like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Across the Universe, and Moonrise Kingdom. I also love Studio Ghibli movies, especially Kiki's Delivery Service.

Books: books with many different, well-explored characters that loosely relate to one another to create some semblance of a plot, e.g. The Art of Fielding, The Marriage Plot, A Visit from the Goon Squad, etc.
