I interested in meeting great people, eating and cooking delicious foods, seeing art in all it's manifestations, thinking about how the world works, especially when it comes to gender, race, class and privilege. I also value being silly, seriously unsearios, and kindness. I love animals, and if I see a dog I can pat, I will stop a conversation mid sentence to give said pats.

I am travelling with my partner Mia. We are a queer couple who have been together six years and share similar values. My pronouns are they/them. Mia's are she/her.

We are non-smokers but drink a little socially.

I like dancing and nature and games. I am active, and will be a running buddy. Most of the time my love for a good night's sleep means I am tucked away with a book by 10.

My profile has just been updated after many years, so all of my reviews are from an amazing sharehouse I lived in around 2010. I hope these reviews give you the sense that I, am my friends are decent sorts of people, even though they are for a group, and not specifically about me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I find amazement in so many small things, picking just one feels impossible.

Teach, Learn, Share

When meeting new people I like to find a groove where things feel easy and flow. I want to bring laughter and a smile to the people around me.

I am really passionate about the world, and our individual and shared experiences of it, but that passion also means I can get worn out by big deep chat. I focus that side of me more into my art making.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will cook something delicious for you! I am happy to help with some cleaning or gardening. I will cover my own costs, do my dishes straight away and keep the space tidy. I also won't be hanging around. There is a whole world to explore and I want to see it!

I can get you in to see my show!

I will be a running buddy.
