I love music, traveling, ideas, and people. I just moved back to the US after spending most of my life in the DRC (and some time in South Africa).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel but I am not wealthy enough to stay at the Marriott wherever I go.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Fela Kuti, Erykah Badu, My Morning Jacket, Marvin Gaye, D'Angelo. Also love jazz and classical esp. Miles Davis and John Coltrane. I like most music except for Dubstep.

Movies and Books: I love the Lord of the Rings. But of course the books are better. I also love Steinbeck and Kerouac.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was around seven years old, I pet a cheetah. It's all been downhill from there.

Teach, Learn, Share

If anyone needs to brush up on their French I can practice with you, give tips for accent, give advice on things to read. Or if you like to make music, I play guitar and we can jam!

Would love to learn more languages as well...

When I was in undergrad, I spent one semester abroad in Paris. That was lovely but it also made me realize that I suck at winter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, stories, beer (if you drink). Or a cash payment.
