Currently traveling and unable to host. I've been living abroad in Japan for the last 5 years teaching and am taking the long way back to the US for a career change. Hoping to make new friends along the way! Not here to freeload, I'm just a social person who'd rather spend time getting to know new people and learn about their stories and culture rather than twiddling my thumbs in a hotel alone ha. Happy to cook for you! (Keep the fire extinguisher on hand ๐งฏ) I'm a hobbyist costume designer and spend a lot of time involved in alternative performing arts - drag, burlesque, dance, shibari, living paintings, and general cabaret. Huge cinefile for classic and low budget B horror films ๐๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ฆ Ask me about the time I had a pet chipmunk ๐๐ฟ๏ธ Allergic to w33d and need to avoid being around it. No judgement, just please let me know so I can find a different place ๐
