Hi! To be honest I prefer to be honest. I'm a gregarious person! I love people, good food, travel, dancing, books, and good cocktails. I'm kind of an old soul, I guess. As a little kid I baked cookies and wrote poetry. Given that I'm very Queer™ my politics are fairly progressive, but I do love the music and culture of the 1920's! I have a black cat. Her name is Loretta.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When requests are open you're welcome to request to stay, but pls KEEP IN MIND: my apartment is one bedroom with an adjoining private bathroom. It's a **very small** space and you'd have to sleep on my foam travel mat on the floor. Also, there's a bar next to my house and occasionally it can be noisy. If you're okay with that, then you're good to stay at my place!

I'm on couchsurfing because I love the idea of welcoming kind strangers into my home. In life I have at times subsisted on the kindness of strangers and if I can, I like to give back.
