I'm your friendly neighborhood socialist. People, their stories, what thrills them, the way they talk, all excite me. Others have told me I'm a good listener (at least I think they did, I was kind of tuning in and out.) I'm an intrepid outdoorsperson, especially when I'm pretending to be a wildlife photographer. I also pretend to be a foodie and a vegan.

I'm on a year-long working trip to Traverse City, and my adventure can be your adventure. Just hit me up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to impose on people and be imposed upon! Being a cultural ambassador for Michigan, the most beautiful natural environment in the world in my impartial opinion, is very important to me. I also need new recipes, ASAP.
