I’m a graduate student in the U.S. who studies marginalized identities and family communication. I travel with my boyfriend who is a software developer. We are both from the Cincinnati OH area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to experience the places we travel to and learn insight into the cities from the local perspective. We also want to see the world, but are young and poor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Israel in 2012 for a service trip

Teach, Learn, Share

I study communication theory, am a liberal US politics buff, and can talk about queer community experiences, Jewish culture/religion, and feminist theory.
I teach public speaking and business communication, I’d be happy to help you with any upcoming presentations, speeches, or big papers (if you’re a student).
My partner built his ‘93 mustang (drag racing car) so he could teach you to change your own oil or help you fix some car issues! He also is a bit of a handy man and could help with minor home repairs or projects in exchange for our stay.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have 4 siblings ages 4 through 13, we can offer child care for a night out or day away in exchange for a place to stay for a few nights! My partner is huge car man who built his own drag racing ‘93 mustache and could offer car help depending on the need. He is also a bit of a handy man (see above).
