Hi there!

I'm a Fulbright Scholar spending the year in Australia, where I'll be working on a book of creative nonfiction about climate change. When I'm not reading or writing, I love to rock climb, cook with friends, and take nice long walks (not always along the beach, sometimes just around the block).

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm new to couchsurfing, but hoping it can help me meet find some new friends down under, and potentially an actual couch to sleep on when I'm traveling.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Books all day: Lydia Davis, Claire Louise-Bennett, George Saunders, Denis Johnson, Zadie Smith, Sally Rooney, etc!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I ran a campaign to successfully close New York's last remaining coal plants, compensate the workers, and transition to renewable energy.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I'm a pretty good cook, especially when it comes to Japanese soul food. So if you want to learn how to make okonomiyaki, I'm your guy.

I was also captain of the wrestling team in high school (a lifetime ago!) so if you've ever wanted to learn a basic fireman's carry, I can help you out with that too.

Länder, in denen ich gelebt habe

Cambodia, France, Japan
