Where to begin? These bios can feel so awkward! As many of you on here, I get so much out of traveling and meeting people along the way. I often find that’s the best part of the travels. It's been weird the past couple years with everything going on, so I'm very excited to start using this app again (as carefully as possible, of course).

ABOUT MY TRAVELS:
I've crossed the US multiple times (often on a really small budget) lived in Chile for a year and backpacked South America, traveled to Canada, Europe, Asia, and Africa. I’ve lived in my van on and off for short periods of time and sometimes still travel in it.

I'm a queer, vegan, budget, and alternative traveler. I love learning from other people, reading, hiking, blogging, writing, eating plants, alternative living, and connecting with nature! I am passionate about compassion and autonomy, and extend that to all living beings, including nonhuman animals and the earth.

HOSTING:
Im currently not hosting but am down to help a fellow traveler out. If you are in/near Asheville, NC and need a ride, suggestions, or help with something else shoot me a message!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had nothing but memorable experiences with Couchsurfing. I got on it for the first time in 2016 and still appreciate it so much. Travel has been my teacher, friend, challenger, and love. The people that I've met and shared time with during travels have given me so much and I value that to no end. I hope to be able to connect with new people and continue exploring in the (very) near future!
