ABOUT ME

I live and work in DC. I'm in charge of the Middle East collection at a local university library. It's interesting, I get to spend my time thinking about books.

PHILOSOPHY

To quote Edgar Allen Poe:

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host all the time when I was abroad and am getting back into it!

Interests

I spend most of my time playing guitar, singing, writing, and reading. I've lived in Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, and North Ireland.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spoke in front of a 400 person anti-war rally when I was 16.

A Chechnian sucker-punched me in the face because he claimed that I "dishonored" him. I did no such thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Guitar, voice, cooking, soccer, Arabic and maybe...English?
