Hello there! I'm a sassy queer cisfemale who is excited to meet you.

I live in Brooklyn, New York City, where I write grants and run programs for persons living with HIV/AIDS and also those at high-risk for this highly stigmatized chronic disease. I also freelance as a sexual health columnist for an online women's magazine, where I smash stigma and drop easily consumable information about bodies and how to take care of them.

Summary: I'm a bleeding heart writer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and seeing how different people live in different places. I love inviting people into my home (when I have any space -- it's hard living in NYC) even just for dinner or a chat. Couchsurfing is the perfect way to facilitate connections with strangers in a way that feels safe and interesting.

Interests

I'm mostly spending my time these days thinking about sexual health, but on the side I'm also interested in community art, activism, health in general, and just hanging out and talking with new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've made a bunch of dresses out of condoms. One was glow in the dark! One was white and I got married in it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a great cook and would love to help out with a dinner or cook a complete one for you!

Countries I’ve Visited

Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain
