I'm a transgendered musician currently trying to find a fresh start in a new city. Cliche I know.

I've been on couch surfing for years but wanted a profile that was more accurate to how I typically appear more recently. If you'd like to see that page I would be happy to link you to it, as it has all of my past reviews.

If you are interested in learning music or better yet play music, I would love to meet you

At the time of writing this I currently am set to go to Portland on the 26th for two weeks, and would love to meet the lovely people of this city that I am considering for a new home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet people of all kinds and see what I can learn from them, as well as share things that I've learned. Couch surfing is an amazing tool for diving right into the local culture of a town, and meeting awesome people that you might have otherwise never met, and I'm excited to see where else it takes me

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I landed a kickflip on a skateboard once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people about music theory and instruments. I can teach guitar, bass, ukulele, keyboard and to some extent drums.

I also like to fix instruments and worked at a guitar shop for a bit- if you have an unhappy instrument I would take joy in making it happy again.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whatever the host would like; food, help around the house, alcohol, personal space, etc.,

I'm around as much as the host wants me around, I can make myself scarce if they need some alone time, or hanging out like we're best friends.
