ABOUT ME

New to Nashville, looking for adventure!

---------------------------

I graduated from law school last May and am clerking for a judge in downtown Nashville til September 2010. Then it's back to New York, baby! where I'll be practicing public interest urban environmental law, hopefully focusing on agriculture and transportation alternatives.

I'm open-minded, happy to meet people of any race, religion, and sexual orientation. I love the outdoors, especially swimming, biking and hiking.

My aspirational goals in Nashville are to learn how to play the guitar, learn to be a great cook (I'd especially love to learn how to ferment, ANDY), grow more plants (ideally an organic vegetable garden), and to get a short story published.

I spent last summer in Guatemala learning Spanish-- I'd be psyched to practice it with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met the best people in nashville through couchsurfing. I'll forever be grateful and try to pass on the good will by taking fellow couchsurfers for coffee or drinks. When I move back to nyc I promise to live with roommates who are comfortable hosting.
