ABOUT ME

Livin' and hanging out in Freiburg for a while. I graduated from Uni in Richmond, VA in 2009 and soon after moved to Kyrgyzstan where I worked as a freelance journalist and English teacher. I witnessed the April 2010 Revolution in Ala-Too square and watched the country get a bit crazy with "ethnic tension" in June. In September 2010 I moved back to Falls Church and worked in television in Washington DC until I got a job as an VSAT engineer in the Kandahar region of Afghanistan. Now I'm just hanging out, traveling a bit and pretending to learn German.

PHILOSOPHY

We're not lost, we're on an ADVENTURE!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy talking to people about their travels. I can't host right now but will gladly show you around. I live near the train station and can meet you for a Augustiner beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few surfers before and they have all been wonderful guests. I've surfed once in Amsterdam and really enjoyed it.
