I teach city kids ages 4 to 13 in an after-school program. I'm also involved with politics and I'm producing a documentary. I enjoy meeting travelers and helping them learn about my hometown, Boston.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in a beautiful, old house in a gorgeous, interesting city. Why not meet meet interesting people by sharing it?

Interests

I'm interested in making the world a better place and helping people live happier lives. Each day, I try to improve myself, not just for my benefit, but also for the benefit of the individual and communities I care about. Politically, I'm an anti-capitalist who advocates social, economic, and environmental justice. I support people and organizations that fight racism, patriarchy, imperialism, transphobia, and queer-phobia of all kinds.
