I'm an ever-curious learner of new things - talk to me about anything and everything. I spend my time exploring & adventuring, reading, talking psychology/philosophy/anthropology/life with anyone who will engage, binge-watching mediocre television, and playing super-involved board games. I'm also intrigued by peoples' stories, as individuals. I'd love to hear yours!

Spent the last two years living and working in East and Southern Africa, and I've decided to move back to the states. I'm spending my first few weeks back traveling around this beautiful country, seeing new places, hiking the parks I've missed so much, and re-connecting with old friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's much more exciting to meet people who are living in the area, know the region well, and are open to sharing their experiences. There's so much to learn from you! I'm looking forward to it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a bit all over the place, really. Some recently read favorites: "Why Buddhism is True" and "Cutting for Stone".

If I'm being straight with you - I listen to more Top40 than I'm proud of.
