ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Alice and I'm a radio reporter on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. I work for a non-profit, independent media collective and do a lot of reporting on environmental issues, the Occupy movement, women's rights, and general political drama. I'm easy-going, talkative and love to explore new places.

PHILOSOPHY

"you are the architect of your own destiny"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I'm not in a living situation where I can host very often, but I hope to be in the future. I've had great experiences the few times I've surfed but definitely want to be more active in the couchsurfing community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Tucson, Arizona and Manchester, New Hampshire and had a great experience. I hope to surf more soon!
