I'm an artist. I am queer. I am a friendly introvert! I love being out in nature where my mind can reset.
I love music, reading, theatre, drawing, taking photos... lots of stuff.
Not much of a partier or night owl, but I like the occasional baile and late night out :))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Lately, travelling has been very hard to come by. Portland, where I live, has become extremely expensive to live in, without much of a minimum wage increase. Lots of struggling. Lots of hustling. Still wanting very much to get out there and see and lift my spirit and connect more with nature and other people around the world. Grateful for this opportunity.

I also have loved the people I've met this way!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am proud when I follow my heart. I spent most of my teens and early twenties wanting to leave. I am proud of the times that I have stayed around and ridden through the initial discomfort of living in my own city for more than a year at a time, seeing people (and myself especially) amidst the ups and downs.
