CURRENT MISSION

To travel without breaking the bank while meeting fun (yet sane) people!

ABOUT ME

I think I make a great host and a fun couch surfer. I'm into live, independent music; impromptu poker games; good wine and beer (stouts, belgian, etc); snorkeling in beautiful tropical locales; house parties with friends; open-minded people with dark senses of humor; wit; literature; indie films; and trashy reality TV. Ha.

PHILOSOPHY

Moderate liberal democrat leaning. Not an atheist, but not a religious nut. Live and let live, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Been doing this couchsurfin' thang for years now! Tend to host more than surf due to a lack of vacation time/funds, but I'm looking to do more surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've got an extra bedroom you can stay in. I do have two cats so if you're allergic it might not work out. I live in a townhouse about 40 minutes south of DC. You could Uber/Lyft to the Springfield metro to get into DC (about a 5 mile Uber ride). If you have a car you're even better off!

Interests

Art, music, indie films and documentaries, social justice issues, traveling (obviously, ha), books, poker, occasional crappy TV

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll just list off music, since there's so much I like: New wave like Psychedelic Furs, New Order, Joy Division, etc. Good emo like Sunny Day Real Estate, Brand New or Lifetime. Indie-pop-punk like Sleigh Bells or MGMT. Twee shit like Belle & Sebastian or Camera Obscura. Nineties like Pavement, Sebadoh, or Dinosaur Jr.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited Italy when I was 16. At the time, the most amazing thing was that I could drink the amazing chianti, ha. That, and the gelato was the bees knees.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you stay with me I can let you in on Virginia's wineries and hikes or the nearest house party, small gallery opening, or funky underground ethnic food joint in DC. DC is NOT JUST MONUMENTS AND MUSEUMS!! : )

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of knowledge of our nation's capital!
