ABOUT ME

I've been in Haiti Since August 2010, working for Fonkoze (a large Haitian Microfinance Institute).

PHILOSOPHY

I'll have to put together something more profound.. but for the time being I can say that I value people who put thought into what they say.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done a lot of couchsurfing in South America- using CS to find places to stay and also random people to meet with. Now that I am settled- in Haiti, I'm up for hosting travelers, meeting people for a drink, or just providing tips

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great discussions, new friends, and unique insights to the place I'm traveling through.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While traveling in Peru I chased down a huge man who stole my backpack, and managed to get it back! Pretty proud of myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

Pretty random, but I just learned about Dicrocoelium dendriticum. This seems like something out of a science fiction movie, but its legitmate.
