CURRENT MISSION

To learn about the world and to serve others.

ABOUT ME

I live on the west side of Cleveland, OH USA with my girlfriend. I love couch surfing because I believe hospitality is the most important binding agent in human civilization. I believe that building an economy based on generosity will begin to reverse negative patterns in our world.

I am a civil liberties attorney and a small scale urban farmer. I also love to ride bikes, and I love science fiction. When I travel, my highest intention is to open myself to any new experience I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had amazing experiences with friends old and new on couch surfing! Knowing that there is a whole net of people out there who want to share space (myself included) makes me feel safe and free and faithful in the goodness of people on this earth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a kid, I had the chance to live on a small sail boat and travel. The sense of community and adventure among boaters inspired me to live in community and respect nature and humans.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Excitement and optimism! And a great neighborhood. I also want to create a safe space for LGBT travelers
