About Me

I like getting to know people and places.

I write and read.

I like to take photos and drink coffee.

Studying. yes. I like doing this too.

I don't like sour krawt or eating meat.

I run. I climb. I box. And I love yoga.

I have a dog named irving gordon. He's huge, black, and lovable.

I used to head the communication sector of the bisexual organizing project and work on campaigns. Now, I like tax law more than I should.

I absolutely love sandwiches, curry, crepes, asian and indian food.

I have a blog: www.smallstepsbigworld.com

I love Albert Camus, e.e. cummings, and Dumbledore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel. Couchsurfing is the best way, in my opinion, to do this. I love getting to know people and helping people learn about my city.

My best experiences traveling have been with the people I have met on CS. A mountain tour with Frank in Grenoble and just a nice chill few days with Jason in DC are at the top of my list!

That being said, I feel like I should also mention that I'm not into the people that use CS as an easy way to find people to hook up with. I hate that I have to mention this at all, but when surfing at people's places or when people come to mine, I am in no way interested in an easy hookup. Please don't expect this and don't feel defeated when I decline the option of sharing a bed with your half-naked self.

Interests

Interesting things. Funny people. How they can be funny. Nice people--like actually genuinely nice people that you cant help but like.

Languages. Books...good books bad books long and short books--all included. I have a tendency to judge books by their covers though. opps.

Sporty things that I don't do very well but enjoy all the same.

People who talk so much but always are saying something interesting.

Mystery shows like Bones and SVU...mmm...and political dramas like the West Wing.

Music, Movies, and Books

If I had to suggest one book it would be the history of love by Nicole Krauss. Don't judge this one by its cover. or its name. Its beautiful. Sculpted. Fabulous.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have learned how to be a fuller person from the love of someone else
