CURRENT MISSION

Get out of the country for a bit

ABOUT ME

I'm back in the US after a two year stint abroad in Cape Verde. I've settled in Washington, DC and started working for an international development contractor. I love my city and my job. Nice how things work out like that.

I love traveling and I'm going to couchsurf around the world someday.

I come from a family of chefs and eaters. We are all obsessed with food, and I will eat basically anything and probably enjoy it.

PHILOSOPHY

Relax.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've got a nice apartment in a great neighborhood. Stop by.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of crashing on couches in college and in my world travels since. Plus, I slept on my friend's couch for 6 weeks before I found a job and a house in DC. Otherwise, I hosted a handful of people while I was living in Cape Verde and had a blast with all of them.

Interests

Top 3: food (that includes wine, beer and scotch), music, history. Also: archaeology, football (American!), baseball, skiing, windsurfing, hiking, beer, large bodies of water, books, etc

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh no. No no no. I couldn't possible begin to fill this out. I have an obsession with music that borders on the lunatic, and I don't want to play the "how many bands can I list in my online profile" game. Ditto for books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I danced on a stage on the beach in Brazil until 8 or 9 in the morning on New Year's 2005, watching the sun come up over the beach and squishing fruit between my toes. It was a defining moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a creepy ability to remember facts and oddities for years. I'll regurgitate them for you.
