hey thanks for reading! i'm max, a nursing student from the northeast USA :)

i'm in a transitional phase of life: in nursing school, living frugally, but still trying to enjoy a bit of travel and meet good people along the way. i am gay and especially love connecting with other members of the gay/queer/LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈✨

i've moved many times but always within in the northeastern USA (near new york city/philadelphia). currently, i live in a small city in eastern pennsylvania with my mom (love her) and our elderly pets (20-year-old cat, 15-year-old chihuahua). i live a quiet life of simple joys: time with family and friends, cooking fresh veggies, the public library, studying yoga, and growing my community locally

very into books, spas, singing, going out dancing, cooking, seeing live music, museums, visual arts, performing arts, yoga, agriculture, hiking, religion, spirituality, and other ways of caring for our souls, our bodies, our planet, and each other 💗

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i joined because i'd heard so much about this community! i'd love to connect with people during my travels to learn where to eat the best food, drink the best coffee, and hear the best music (just for listening and for shaking my ass lol)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

about 3 years ago, i started changing absolutely everything in my life. moved cities, rebuilt my relationships, quit my job, traveled for a few months, and went back to school. still in progress, but it took a lot to make such big changes. i'm so grateful i did!

What I Can Share with Hosts

i'm quiet, easygoing, and accommodating. "acts of service" is my love language, so i like helping with household tasks, and i'd be happy to make dinner to say thank you!
