About Me

Queers to the front! I live in Philadelphia, USA, usually spending winters in Mexico, often traveling solo, visiting friends, and making new ones along the way. When I'm not working remotely, I can get into some of the following:
- walking, hiking, exploring
- yoga, weightlifting, biking, swimming,
- dancing, especially to hip hop, afrobeat, house, vogue, Latin
- singing, harmonizing, playing ukulele poorly
- growing, harvesting, cooking food
- learning about language and culture
- discussing queerness, polyamory, sexuality, community

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has proven to be a wonderful tool in past travels, and I've had a bunch of great experiences. On this current trip to Barbados, I'll be arriving after a month in Mexico, and will be meeting folks arriving by sailboat from France. I'm hoping to get to know the island and culture, taste some Bajan food and drinks, enjoy the beaches, and dance, especially with other queer folks!
