CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out a new strategy to save the world.

ABOUT ME

Published novelist, international development, hilarious (in my own head). Les francophones soient la bienvenue. Je parle français.

And no, I can't get you an internship or job with the UN.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

No matter how successful I become, I always find the need to wander. CSers have proven to be worthy of this wander-time.
