About Me

2024 update: seattle is home now but can’t host

ABORTION UPDATE::: i’m able to host out-of-state women coming to california for an abortion. I may also be able to help arrange transportation. ❤️‍🔥

March 2022 update: vaxxed, boosted, and (knock on wood) never even got the 'vid somehow.

Long-time environmentalist, FOH restaurant-worker, activist, and lover of sci-fi. If we can nerd out over octavia butler, NK Jemisin, or Ursula Le Guin, we'll be best friends forever. Pivoted hardcore a couple of years ago and decided to go back to school so that I could get health care and possibly retire someday??? I live in Santa Rosa and go to school in Davis and work in Oakland (don't ask me about my commute, DO ask me about what amazing podcasts and books on tape I have discovered).

I've used couchsurfing on and off for years. I've surfed, hosted, and introduced new people to the community. It's been a while since I first made my account, but I can't bring myself to delete my old bio:

****************** *^*^*^=~*^*^*^~*€* i'm slightly obsessed with figuring out how to save the planet. i'm intrigued by (and scared by) militant philosophies of struggle. I like beer, books and blankets. I enjoy living out of my backpack whenever I can, even if it's not too far from home. I like being around people that are different than me, and i like being out of my comfort zone. I've never been stung by a bee y me encanta bailar salsa.
