Queer and adventurous, here for connection and cultural exchange. I'm more of a chaos traveler than a planner. Too many plans overwhelm me, so I usually just show up and figure things out as I go. I like to travel slow and soak up the feel of a place. I’d rather really experience a few countries than rush through a dozen just to tick boxes.

I love scuba diving, thrifting, wandering old streets, checking out architecture, and people-watching. I’ll probably try to make friends with every stray cat or dog I see. Food is a big part of travel for me, too; I’ll try pretty much anything once (even pig’s blood in Indonesia, which was way tastier than I expected).

A couple quirks: I still collect postcards everywhere I go, and I usually avoid touristy spots in favor of backstreets and local restaurants (if the menu’s in English, I’m probably not eating there).

I’m laid back, respectful, and always up for swapping stories. I’d love to share travel tips, photos, and stories, and hear yours too!

📍Granada - 📸 Street Photography and Coffee in Albaicín

Music, Movies, and Books

For music, I mostly gravitate toward rock, metal, and country, but my all-time favorite band is actually the indie group Bright Eyes.

Total horror movie fanatic here (ask me for a recommendation list, I have one 😅). On the flip side, I also love a good Disney flick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sold most of my stuff, left home with under $5k, and somehow managed to travel for 4.5 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m happy to swap travel stories, share photography tips, and any little bits of knowledge I’ve picked up along the way. I’d love to learn about local traditions and culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share photography tips, travel stories, and any interesting knowledge I’ve picked up along the way. I’m also happy to help practice English or just have fun chatting while we hang out. And I'd be more than happy to help out around the house.
