CURRENT MISSION

Connect with other people, learn about art.

ABOUT ME

I run a very tiny bookstore. It's not that I don't know who I am, it's that I have started to surprise myself with what I have come to know. I am an avid theatre goer and a theatre practitioner. I've lately become enamored with hip-hop and rustic folk music. I like to cook, and would love to learn how to do that better. I leave the baking to my roommate. I bike just about everywhere, and try to bike year-round.

PHILOSOPHY

Joy-o. It's like Emo, but with happiness, instead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a couple times, but have yet to host. I want to get into the local scene a bit more, too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My older brothers have got me started on couch surfing. I've had the pleasure of surfing twice and through that have managed to convince myriad of other friends to do it themselves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending a week in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Made a difference, got my hands dirty, learned about the human psyche, and left way too early.
