Who We Are Looking For
We are seeking a sociable, responsible non-smoker who is actively contributing to their own circle or the world.

- Important: Single occupancy only. Non-smoker. Balanced 420 is okay. We are inclusive and welcome community contributors of all profiles, genders, and backgrounds with full self-expression.
