I am an easy-going anthropologist with a dry sense of humor. I teach peacebuilding and conflict management. While you will find me out for a quiet morning walk with my dog or a hike at a local spot, you won't find me closing down the bar at 3 AM.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

I love to see new places, meet new folks, and share experiences. I treasure local knowledge and insight when I Couchsurf, and offer that to the folks who stay with me.

Zainteresowania

I enjoy gardening, reading, walking, crafting, kayaking, and hiking (not necessarily in that order). I love to experience the world around me (e.g., kayaking and hiking) and to create new things (e.g., gardening, crafting).

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

On the way back from working in Uganda, I had a several hour layover. I toured the city at daybreak with a Canadian who was also on layover. After a chance meeting in the customs line, we had a great time touring the city, chatting about work, relationships, and swapping stories. The depth of our conversations was amazing.

Ucz innych, ucz się sam, udostępniaj

I can teach you knitting and cross stitching, rudimentary Kiswahili, and anthropology. I can tell you stories about teaching, doing research in disaster zones and human rights contexts, and working in the world's only black fly lab. I can tell you about graduate (or gradual?) school. I want to learn local knowledge and insights, new languages, recipes, native plants, and gardening ideas.
