Hi! I’m a food journalist at Atlas Obscura. I love exploring cities, thrifting, combining things, retro-futuristic architecture, abandoned places, furry domesticates, bending into shapes, tiki kitsch, doing stuff with words, and disturbing tide pools.

You will not be trusted without references or credibility, sorry pals.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Because I can be. Plus, a significant part of my travels include food detective work (I publish articles, interviews, and itineraries on hyperlocal cuisine) which is best enjoyed with local folk in the context of daily life.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

A Tim-Tam slam. What an amazing thing.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Anything to do with food. Guitar and singing ‘til the sun comes up. Off-the-beaten-path tours of my city (or yours! Or a third place that neither of us live in!)

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Art, stories, miscellaneous facts, motivation to do karaoke, personalized haikus, a place to stay wherever I am, and an excuse to blow off your routine.

Oh, and I’m happy to edit anything (written in English, of course) for you—no matter if English is your first language or your fourth.
