CURRENT MISSION

To learn the world over

ABOUT ME

I'm a college graduate and I work full-time now. Less traveling these days unfortunately, but I work in sales/management. I'm was a Film & TV studies major and still dig writing critical work and talking general pop culture.

Used to be a Tucsoner and loved it, now I'm in Aurora (outside of denver) Colorado.

Also a big music fan, love seeing local shows and dancing like a fool. Mostly though, I'm a fun going, loveable nerd.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch will always be open. Both here and in my travels I will always offer to share my experiences.

Interests

This American Life, NPR, avocado, being politically minded, dancing, used postcards, the infin1ite power of todo lists, lime, kindness, driving around aimlessly with friends (though global warming and a recession has changed all that), sandwiches, the simplicity and virtue of talks in empty parking lots, writing papers, random excursions, the optimistic battle over pessimism
