I'm an East Coast fella browsing different communities, lifestyles, careers, and hobbies so that I might make the most informed decisions as I design my life, or, at the very least, so that I might write the best stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it invigorating to meet new people and here new stories.
Right now, specifically, I would really like to see the "insides" of the cities I'm heading through; because I'm looking for a place to live rather than enjoy for a weekend.
( I'm particularly drawn to Salt Lake City. )

Interests

Writing short stories, adventuring, learning, performing, dancing, listening, building community, politics, Burning Man, wine, dulcimer, and never getting old.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a State Senate campaign in southern Vermont as a Senior at Marlboro College; didn't win, but, it was a riot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really good at taxes, I'm my own independent business- if I stay with you I'd be glad to help find some tax credits! I'm particularly good with students. You don't need to share your finance or personal information with me, and please don't, I've simple step by step instructions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, communities, opportunities, a dance move I made up, beer, a shoulder to cry on- you name it.
