About Me

I approach the world with a child-like sense of wonder.
I believe positivity begets positivity. Do good, get good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea that is Couchsurfing. While living in Jordan as a Peace Corps Volunteer, I had the opportunity to host a handful of folks at my place in Bseira, Tafilah, Jordan. We had a lot of fun. Some visited my school, enjoyed traditional meals at my friends' houses, went hiking with me in the Dana Reserve, among other things.

I also hope to do some traveling of my own some day, and look forward to participating in some CS-ing as a surfer.

Interests

I love to play guitar, talk linguistics and philosophy, design clever graphics for tee shirts, and propose creative ideas for novels.
