IM a artist who loves community. Im genderqueer and interested in learning about other peoples experience of gender. Im a traveler at heart but also love building nests-often made of blankets and cushions and filled with trinkets- in my house and other places. my garden is full of zucchinis and snap dragons. i love paper daisies, climbing peas and little yellow pear tomatoes. actually im obsessed with plant-life. i like old books.

Queer rights are very important to me. im into sustainability, treating people well, sharing food and stories. i love music and i like to sing. i love nature, camping, bushwalking, snowboarding/falling over in the snow, riding my bicycle around the city and touring with a bike and tent on longer adventures. i care about social and political issues, am passionate about human rights and the environment. i love cycling taking photos, making art, building things, gardening, hiking, outdoors, preserving and pickling things, having picnics, playing cards and other games, reading and collecting things, and having good conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

it seems like the perfect way to travel and meet people to me. to generally share the good things in life w others.
