About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To expand gender horizons around the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a genderqueer kid from Halifax, currently living in Montreal. I love travelling and meeting new people, and want to experience as much as possible in this world. I have endless energy, and sometimes bounce off the walls. I love having deep conversations, and especially when I can play devil's advocate and turn the conversation into an argument (a civilized, debate-style argument, not a fight). I am honest, sometimes too honest at times. Too easy-going for my own good. My pet peeve is the gender binary.

PHILOSOPHY

Umm - can't describe it in a box this small - I think about philosophy WAY too much. Although in short, I believe that everything is a continuum - binaries and discrete categories are all BS.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I guess I'm offering my couch to people to stay the night. I have been attempting to CouchSurf while traveling for a while, but I never can contact people early enough to actually find a place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I grew up in a house where my parents took in guests from all over the world, but I just joined the CouchSurfing network recently.

Interests

Gender, music, intellectual conversations, bicycles, cuddles, radical politics, dancing - swing, tango, and whatever else you might throw at me!

  • pets
  • dancing
  • tango
  • politics
  • traveling
  • music
  • boxing
  • teaching
  • mathematics

Music, Movies, and Books

Ummm - how can I choose!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that all of life is amazing as long as you see it from the right point of view.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, as an ambassador to a fledgling gender identity, people generally learn a lot from interacting with me. I am also studying to be a college or university teacher in mathematics, but that's kinda boring...

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
