Hello folks I'm Coda, from the U.S., currently living in Thailand. I am trans-masculine, gender non-conforming.

Jeez what to even share here.... I’ve spent all of Covid in Thailand, mostly isolated, reevaluating everything in my life 😂. Eating fresh food, well seasoned, is among my top priorities. I love cooking big meals.

I am a dancer and bodyworker.

I’m very open ask away...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Much better to share house and home when possible. I'm also on workaway & happy to help around your house in exchange.
