I'm a sophomore at Brown University studying French and Modern Culture & Media with a focus in queer theory and gender/sexuality studies, more specifically seeking to position non-binary gender identities within/without traditional (trans)feminist frameworks. I'm originally from a suburb of Boston, MA.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In the immediate future, I'm looking to stay in San Francisco from June 13th until SF Pride weekend, June 24th-25th....if anyone could help me accomplish that in any way I'd be so happy!!! It's the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, and I need to be in San Francisco for it.

In general, I need to start branching out, taking risks, and experiencing as much as possible while I'm still young enough to do so! There are so many places I've never been, a laundry list of goals I've yet to accomplish, and quite a few internalized apprehensions holding me back from accomplishing them. I hope through Couchsurfing I can explore sides of myself I haven't had the chance to explore and see sides of others I haven't had the pleasure to see.
