*When I was living in CA (bout 6 years) I utilized CS many times. I had far more reference testimonials. Since Covid and charging for CS, things changed and I lost references. As well, since leaving the festival circuit and being back in the Midwest, I haven't had need for CS.... yet!*

Covid conscience. Vaccinated. Boosted.

I found out about Couchsurfing when I moved to California. It was unbelievably helpful. This site provided me safe spaces and with memories to last forever. Some folks I could message up right quick and pop in, just to pop in.

This particular variety of hosting format suits me so wonderfully. Because though I appreciate my own space and the respite on and between journeys, I am eager to meet awesome folk along the way.

I don't always have a lot of time for hanging out but I will always make sure to connect properly with my host/hosts (and their animals).

Ultimately I'm pretty chipper and I say a lot of things in Buffy speak with a midwest twist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
