CURRENT MISSION

I plan to backpack around W. Africa. And dance.

ABOUT ME

The possibly un/important superficials: 5' 11", blue eyes, light brown hair, usually with a bit of facial stubble.
The more important substance: Devestating charm, tempered by the all-too-frequent social faux pas. A generous dollop of humility. I'm at my best, my kindest, my most inquisitive and interesting when I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Upon my return to SF in August '09, I'm a hosting fiend. However, until that point I'm strictly a surfer, not a surfee.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every trip I'd take to New York was facilitated greatly by the kindness of friends and friends of friends. Without them, my experiences of one of the best cities around would be tragically limited.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped a student discover a love of learning.

Teach, Learn, Share

My knowledge of U.S. foreign policy, historical and contemporary, is freakishly encyclopedic. I can sing and pluck out a few tunes on the guitar. I am reasonably able with mechanical devices and tall enough to change a light bulb for those of you more short.

Countries I’ve Visited

Countries I’ve Lived In
