American born. Educated (masters degree). Well traveled (40 countries and counting). I lived abroad for 6 years in my 20's in France, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. I lived in NYC for the past 7 years and I've just relocated to Denver, Colorado.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been offered a contract in Boston for 7 weeks, and I'm interested in using my free time to give couch surfing a spin and to see if it seems like something I would enjoy offering as a host when I return home to Denver.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love electronic music (Moby), classical (Mozart), and jazz. Ive read too many books to count. I've been on a biography kick for a couple of years (Cook, Jobs, Musk, Einstein). Before that it was Science Fiction (Asimov, Sagan, Clark, Heineken). Russian novels (Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky) literature and mysteries. I also love movies. I'm a fan of nearly all genres (sans horror).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled around Australia and New Zealand for two years in a camper van. I've recently section hiked 1000 miles of the Appalachian Trail between Main and Virginia.
