I love practicing martial arts, singing, yoga, dancing, hiking, and cooking. I get along easily with almost everyone. I like to bring good vibes, fun, and gratitude everywhere I go.

I live with and will be traveling with my partner Nadia who is a very amazing person.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I started with favorite artists and it's hard to balance not leaving people out with not making this too long. So instead, my favorite genres- folk, hip hop, reggaeton, musicals, and some 90's/00's pop/alternative/rock nostalgia

Movies: Everything Everywhere All At Once, I Heart Huckabees, Polite Society, Coherence, Hustlers, Inside Man

Books: Fetch, Rent Girl, Kindred, Parable of the Sower, Lilith's Brood trilogy, Native Tongue, Dog Songs

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once kayaked 90 miles in 8 days through eastern Oregon wilderness with all my equipment on the back of my kayak, camping along the shore of the river each night. I don't often do things that hardcore, but I'm glad to know I have it in me.

I won a gold medal and two silver medals in martial arts at the 2018 Gay Games.

I know that's two things, but I'm equally proud so it was hard to choose.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Vegan cooking, self-defense, beginner yoga

I love to learn new vegan recipes. I'm hoping to (re)learn a little bit of French before visiting Paris in September.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very good cook and would be happy to make a meal to share with plenty of leftovers for your fridge/freezer. If you want to learn to cook something vegan and delicious, I'd be happy to teach you.

I can teach you some self-defense.

Reciprocal hosting! We have a nice apartment in downtown San Francisco. We're happy to host you if you're ever coming into town and we can work out the dates.
