About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Perspective and ambiguity

ABOUT ME

I helped organize a youth education bicycle program and bicycle shop in The Cass Corridor, Detroit, MI, US from 2004 through 2009. It's called The Hub of Detroit.

I was a bike messenger for 4 years in Detroit, as well.

My house is full of bicycles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to host people visiting Detroit, give little tours, and provide bicycle help/possibly lending.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I usually only travel places where I have friends, and stay with them. In turn, they stay with me when the come to Detroit.

I've hosted bike tourists before, referred by a website similar to this, but specific to cycle-tourists: warmshowers.org

I enjoy giving out-of-towners tours of what's up with my own city, and love getting similar perspectives on other places.
