About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Life's journey is not to arrive at your grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in ass backwards, broken and bruised, shouting 'WOW,' That was a hell of a ride!"

ABOUT ME

I work as a journalist for the Stars and Stripes newspaper based in Kaiserslautern, Germany. I report in Afghanistan for most of the year, and when I'm off I live here. Hoping to meet some new people. I live right above Maloneys!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I wrote a story about a couchsurfing Bedouin in Petra, Jordan. Been hooked ever since.
