they/them

i love cooking, taking long, rambling walks, going for casual bike rides, looking at bodies of water, and everything music, reading, and dancing related.
also love to talk about astrology, language, politics, art, or whatever i’m currently hyperfixated on.
travel wise i like wandering around a city without a plan, taking pictures, stopping into random shops or cafes or galleries, and posting up at a cafe or a park to read and people watch.

in search of good people, good vibes, and house music.

open to hanging out and also 100% capable of entertaining myself if you are busy/tired/just want alone time. i have some sensory issues and can get overwhelmed easily, so if i need extra alone time please don’t take it personally! i just need to recalibrate.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

音乐、电影和书籍

i listen to a lot, i’ve read a lot. i used to watch a lot of movies but i've found i'm too adhd for a casual movie viewing; it has to be the only thing happening. i write and sing so i love finding new artists and writers and discussing them with people.
(if you're interested in what i've read lately that i think is worth sharing, i write a monthly column talking about my favorite articles, essays, and books in my newsletter: joellewritesthings.substack.com <3)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

i teach other artists how to have a healthier relationship with their creativity and seeing my students blossom makes me feel like i’m providing a (small but still!) net good for the world

教，学，和分享

i love cooking for people and lending a helping hand. please, please give me a couple of chores or let me feed your animals or something if i stay with you. if you come stay with me, you can eat our food and tell us about your adventures, or just have a quiet place to crash with a warm bed :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

bomb vegan and vegetarian cooking, stories that may or may pique your interest, help around the house/farm/what have you, or total peace and quiet if you’d just like to keep doing your own thing.
