I am an American artist, living now in Germany for nearly a decade. I work on experimental dance operas and enjoy playing music. I am currently studying for my Masters of Choreography and Performance in Gießen, near Frankfurt, which is great. Whenever I can manage, I try to go on short ocean sailing voyages, and I hope someday to buy my own boat, and take a very long ocean voyage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that modern capitalism has destroyed many of our means of creating community and personal interaction. Somehow the Internet offers a chance, if we can use it, to counter that trend. I think it is great to meet strangers, to share with them, to discover something.
