Taking a break from hosting on a regular basis. Never say never, if you send a request and I'm able to host, then I'll accept!

If you wanna do some hikes while in Seattle, def message me! I try to go hiking every weekend during the summer months.

The name is lldrich, but everyone calls me Haute Mess. Originally from the Philippines. Grew up in Las Vegas. Currently spreading ratchetry in Seattle. I like to eat, drink, and twerk. I'm super easy going and enjoy pretty much everything. Seriously, I'm down for whatever... from a crazy night out of dancing to hiking and backpacking to camping to just chilling and drinking at a random dive bar. Try me.

I enjoy traveling alone, so naturally, couchsurfing is the perfect fit for me. I've been an active member since 2010 and I can honestly say that I've met a good chunk of who I consider my good friends through couchsurfing. I would not have been able to travel to all the places I've been to if it wasn't for couchsurfing. As such, I try to give back to the CS community by hosting travelers as much as I can.

You probably don't give a shit, but here's my Instagram account for my adventures. It should give you a taste of my life/personality: https://instagram.com/_haute_mess/

2024 Update: I'm too lazy to update this profile for now, but I am no longer as ratchet as what this profile paints me to be. Old age has caught up with me. I should probably change my name to Lukewarm Mess, no?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To twerk all over the world and spread ratchetry. I also enjoy adventures with random strangers with funny accents.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Hip-Hop and electronic music in general. House, techno, and ratchet shit are a huge plus. Pretty much anything with good beats that will give me the urge to twerk like a two-dollar whore will do the trick.

Books: How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence.
