I'm an American writer and comedian presently living in Austin, Texas, looking to move for ~6 months or so to Colombia.

I have an insatiably creative spirit with a healthy dose of adventure, which extends not just to travel but to relationships, work, where I'm going to buy my next cup of coffee, etc.

I'm originally from the Bay Area, I graduated from UC Berkeley, lived in SF for 7 years, Chicago for 4, New York for 3, Europe (mainly Berlin and Lisbon) for 2, and have been back in the U.S. (Bay Area and Austin) for a year.

I love beer, laughing, and loving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for places to stay in Colombia, likely Medellin, but open to other possibilities.

I'd love to meet new people and experience areas from an actual local's perspective.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've CS'd in Puerto Rico and hosted in San Francisco. Looking forward to more adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I first went to Vieques and saw the beach at Novio. I had just been laid off from a corporate job, and realize I never wanted to be stuck in a cubicle again. I haven't remained faithful to that vow, but I'm trying.
