I grew up in Minnesota, just outside of Minneapolis. I absolutely love and adore my homeland, but had to see what else was out there so in 2010 I took a massive bike tour/hitch hiking/camping adventure out west with my biffle, Lani. She stayed in SF, while I kept venturing. So far I've lived (in some fashion)in Oregon, California, Vermont, Massachusetts and Texas. Currently living it up progressive, rural style in Easthampton, MA and soaking up every second of gorgeous Western Massachusetts.

The deal with me being able to host or not is always super case by case. I live in a small one bedroom apartment and have a pretty cozy couch, but life and work being what they are, it's hard to anticipate what I'll be doing when a request comes in. If you requested me and I never respond, please don't take it personally, life can just get chaotic and sometimes I don't get around to checking. Know that I love hosting when I can and if we do get a chance to link up I'll show you the place I now call home with love and care!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surf. I host. I love it.

Interests

Nice queers like me, travel therapy, biking, music, laughing, reading, meeting new and interesting people, recovery, family, donut world, speaking in strange accents, guessing where people are from, proving myself wrong, dancing, shakin' my shit where it counts, learning to trust my cooking abilities, art and crafting.

I love being a dog owner, so far I have been dog parent to 2 lovely senior rat terriers. Lost one along the way and the other one has some serious social issues, but he's my baby, what can ya do?
