Hello,

My name is River, I'm a 21 transgender male residing in Michigan. For those who are not familiar with that term I am transitioning from being physically a female to a male which is who I truly am. I am happily engaged to a lovely girl and we both just hope to travel around the world one day and meet new unique and accepting people. I'm not the greatest with describing myself but I'd like to think I'm a pretty chill person. I do have my flaws though. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression along with a few other things and due to that it makes it very hard for me to get a job and make money and do a lot of things really but that doesn't keep me from wanting to reach out of my comfort zone and explore the world. I have my own way of keeping myself occupied most days, writing. It's one of my biggest passions. I mainly write poetry but I hope to one day start my own novel. Music is another passion of mine and I sing and I rap on occasion. I'm not the greatest but it helps me cope with a lot of my feelings.
I am highly 420 friendly but if you don't smoke and don't want to be around it I'm completely okay with that . I also fancy alcohol a lot but what I said about weed , if you don't want it around it's completely fine with me.
I'm all about equality pretty much.
I'm super empathetic and emotional
I have a huge heart for being here for other people and doing what I can to help them stay alive in this world

I love drinking tea.

I'm also allergic to cats but if you have them it is fine, I don't mind. I have medication to deal with that and cats are lovely animals.

Also I have like no irl friends and my roommates and I no longer get along much and it never feels like a safe home there, so I spend a lot of time lately laying in my fiance's car writing and listening to music while she works. so if you're close by I'm so down to meet up and go on random adventures and talk all hours of the night. I don't drive but my fiance does. We are also looking for potential future new roommates, we both are very open minded and not hard to get a long with as long as you're not super judgmental and an asshole.

Sorry if this was a lot to read...there's so much more to me but I'll leave it at this.

Other than that I don't really know what else to add. Feel free to ask though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My fiance and I are looking to spend time traveling through the states as cheaply as we possibly can being on a low budget and all but its always been our dream to go out and explore the world together. Or to just meet people close by.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Currently nothing super amazing but I'm hoping to change that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know exactly what I can teach you but I can provide you with someone you can talk to about pretty much anything. I'm very accepting and have no room to judge others. I can make you smile when you are feeling down and give you a shoulder to cry on if need be. Also I'm open to letting anyone read my writing . I'm also looking to find someone who might be down to work on a music project together in the future if we can collaborate well enough.

I'd like to learn how to enjoy life a little bit more in whichever way I can and learn what it's like to feel like someone truly cares and has a kind heart.
