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

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

i've moved many times but i've always lived in the northeast USA (near new york/philadelphia). today, 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 have 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, dancing, cooking, live music, museums, visual arts, performing arts, yoga, agriculture, hiking, religion, and the many ways of caring for our souls, our bodies, our planet, and each other 💗

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to travel a bit and connect with good people! let me know where to eat the best food, drink the best coffee, and hear the best music (for both listening and shaking ass)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

about 3 years ago, i decided to change my life completely. moved cities, quit my job, rebuilt my relationships, traveled a few months, and went back to school. it was hard to make so much change so quickly, but 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 as a "thank you"
