Qué tal~

Please don’t count me out because I don’t have many references. Just only have used CS a bit and still new to it! 🙃☺️

Renée here (she/they mostly) I’m from CT - happily call New Haven my home for almost a decade, and also a lover of traveling and meeting others from around the world!

As a new host and person to hang out with, I’d LOVE to show you my home of New Haven! I know all the best food joints, nature spots, event locations, queer spaces, and scenic areas~ I’m continuing to learn more about where I live and it feeds my passion for community and the NH community at large!

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet lovely people and share experiences together. I’d love to practice language and cultural exchange. Occasionally looking for short-term lodging (1 week max) to save money and help fund my future plans to move abroad. Simultaneously, I’m open to hosting short stays (1-2 nights) between April and May, but would require an in-depth vetting process for safety and comfort purposes.

Happy to share other experiences like: nightlife, coffee shops, anything food related! nature experiences 🌱, cultural events and tours, anything art-related, yoga, bicycling, dancing, karaoke! You name it!
I’d love to have great conversation and connect 🫶🏻

Definitely wanting to meet queer/LGBTQIA+ folks and attend queer events🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ HMU for the local drag and burlesque scene info!

My interests are community-building, performing visual & mixed media arts (see Chucky Halloween costume for example), films and film-making, quality time with quality individuals, cooking, dancing, and enjoying beautiful moments.

Let’s connect!

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a registered nurse, and truly love science and learning about the human body. Public Health is a passion of mine.
I’m also a musician and artist. Connecting community with the arts is a passion and love of mine.

I love to understand the way societies function in relation to their history, culture, accessibility, resources, and sociopolitical climate.
