ABOUT ME

Living with friends in a house in the city, writing educational software, and practicing acrobatics, rock climbing, and power lifting in my spare time. We have a tiny, fierce, snuggly chihuahua and a big fluffy cat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm thinking about taking a year off to travel the world, and hosting travelers at my home near Boston in the meantime. I have a lovely apartment with four friends, and we have couches and sleeping space to share with travelers.

I haven't yet hosted anyone through this site - all of my couch surfing to date has been with friends and friends of friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to burning man last summer. I crawled out of my dusty tent one morning and took a picture of an enormous motorized baby carriage, big enough for two people to ride in, parked outside my camp. I got on my bike and rode across the city to visit friends at their camp. I overheard someone talking about how he'd lost his giant baby carriage, and I was able to help him track it down and bring back his crazy art car.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you were interested, I could probably teach you something about origami, knitting, partner acrobatics tricks, sign language, knot tying, or computer programming.
