I enjoy the company of most people and find few things more interesting than understanding why a person thinks and behaves the way they do.

I'm grateful to have a childlike curiosity and sense of adventure.

I'm open-minded and receptive to new ideas. I like to have my mind changed. Nobody is born with all the right answers.

I left my six-year job in public media in 2021 to work at one of the top comedy clubs in the world.

I love comedy. Humor can be one of the best ways to cut to the truth of an issue.

"If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you." -Oscar Wilde

I try to find the best qualities in others and apply those qualities to my own life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of traveling is meeting new people from different places and backgrounds. When I'm not traveling, hosting couchsurfers is a great way to do that.
