ABOUT ME

I am currently teaching English to young Frenchies just north of Paris.

Before that, I was living in Washington D.C. working at the Senate and going to school at night. I love talking politics, but not being in the heavy midst of it.

PHILOSOPHY

Its easy to be overwhelmed by all the things we can't do, the challenge lies in doing as much as we can.

Also, Plato rules all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Cairo a few weeks ago 10 days after Mubarak resigned from office. It was pretty awesome to see the residual (peaceful) protests in Tahir square and walking around with the buzz of a successful revolution in the air.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking to people, and I constantly find my opinions and sights of the world are forming and evolving.

Plus, I know the Hand Jive.
