I go back and forth between the US and international work. Right now I'm setting up a semipermenant base in Rwanda and based out of Kigali.

I am a Democratic (as in the Democratic Party) political consultant in the US and work in Democracy Building internationally. I also founded a non-profit organization that acts as a job bank for those who work in Democratic and progressive politics. www.DemocraticGAIN.org

I travel alot for both work and pleasure and love meeting new people - especially from around the world.

PHILOSOPHY
I'm a pretty socially liberal.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've hosted a few people in Kigali and Washington DC

I like meeting new people and happy to help those who are on a travel budget.
