CURRENT MISSION

Grad school in DC and the Hill.

ABOUT ME

Seven years ago, I had only been to Canada. Now, I've visited 44 nations and counting. I'm trying to see all of Europe and hopefully, to keep coming back.

Next up: Maine!

PHILOSOPHY

To experience as much as possible. A full passport beats nearly anything else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel solo quite a bit so getting a drink or a coffee is a nice break from the wandering.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been wonderful couchsurfing in the US and throughout Europe.

Interests

Continuing to travel everywhere and to learn what is new to me, and common to everyone else.

• coffee
• drinking
• traveling
• hiking
• religion

Music, Movies, and Books

Josh Ritter, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Keren Ann. Good film (Terrance Malick and Wes Anderson are favorites).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch hiking from Missouri to Oregon . . . getting a Garrison Keillor reference along the way, talking NPR and religion through each state.

Teach, Learn, Share

Someday the microwave won't be my sole source of meals. Unfortunately, that day isn't today.
