I am a peacebuilder currently on sabbatical in Mexico City with my wife and a new puppy. I am getting some rest and nice weather after a decade of organizing around peace and conflict resolution in Washington, D.C.

I really love the weather, food, and vibes in Mexico City and the rich cultural history. The city has been a ton of fun to explore and would love to have couch surfers who are excited to see the city stay with us. Our household is 420 friendly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to meet new people, new cultures, and new communities. In the past I primarily stayed with others, now I am in a space that I can host others!

Interests

I really love engaging with and studying cultures. I love learning about and supporting a wide range of political, social and economic movements.
