Overview
About Me
I'm taking in couchsurfers because I've enjoyed hosting in the past -- and it's time for me to put some goodwill back into the system.
During and after high school, I spent some time wwoofing in Hawaii and New Zealand where I was introduced to CS.
During college, I studied film, political theory, and urban studies. Then I worked for a moment in Istanbul and Berlin before moving along to make a documentary on an ecological restoration project in Haiti. These days, I operate an urban farm out of a greenhouse in Phoenix, AZ.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I've had an apartment, I've been happy to host people in New York, Berlin, and in Istanbul.
Over the past few years I've hosted, stayed on a few couches, and met up for drinks with many many interesting people. All good experiences!
