Performance poet living in Manchester, NH :) I'm vegan and a non-smoker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few times a year I'll travel the country to meet friends who live far away, explore new places, or go to anti-war gatherings. I live on disability payments and it's hard to afford a hotel when travelling, but I've stayed at hostels for cheap before and enjoyed it even more because I got to meet new people.

Interests

I'm Episcopalian and sing as a tenor in my church choir :)
