Hi! I'm currently a graduate student and am halfway through a two-year Masters program. Before returning to school, I worked in the humanitarian aid and development sectors for 8 years. You may notice that I'm not hosting right now. That's mostly because I'm traveling in Europe for the summer and don't have space for guests.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have a friend who's had great experiences with couchsurfing, and I thought I'd give it a try! My other friends think I'm defying death by joining this site. :-)

音乐、电影和书籍

Re books, I'm a big fan of Virginia Woolf, Kazuo Ishiguro, Edith Wharton, Raymond Chandler, and Jorge Luis Borges. Re movies, I love old black-and-white films like 'The Big Sleep,' as well as films with gorgeous photography such as '2046' and 'The Fountain.' Re music, I especially love classic rock, e.g., the Rolling Stones.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I served in the U.S. Peace Corps for two years, as a teacher in a rural school in West Africa.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm a very low-maintenance, quiet, and clean guest. Also, if you host me this summer, I *will* bring you Swiss chocolate!
