Overview
About Me
I like playing the fiddle and singing, especially at a local bars here in Cambridge. I also read a lot and like going to contemporary art museums. I get a box of organic vegetables every other week and I spend a lot of time thinking about how to cook them. I spend most of my time working - I'm a public defender so I'm in court defending poor people accused of crimes who can't afford to hire a lawyer.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My first couch surfing experience was in Austin, Texas for South by Southwest music festival. A few years ago I surfed on a road trip Montreal and Quebec City. I've also hung out with and hosted various couch surfers who were traveling through Boston. I just came home from a Couchsurfing trip to Morocco and Spain! Dan and I also host solo travelers about once a month in our little apartment in Central Square, Cambridge (MA) and it's always a lot of fun.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm not really a big movie person - I usually fall asleep right away. I like quirky 30 minute TV shows like Party Down, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm. My favorite authors are Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting), Burroughs, and Bukowski.
