CURRENT MISSION

I inhale great draughts of space, the east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.

ABOUT ME

Just graduated from college and now I'm off working in Washington as a journalist--I write about cities, which is great, because writing and cities are my two great passions. It's one of the reasons I like to travel so much.

PHILOSOPHY

In the words of E.B. White: I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My apartment is tiny, but all are welcome for tours of our nation's capital!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in France, Germany, Austria, Denmark and Algeria and each has been more fun than the last. Many CS and other travels stories to share. Haven't hosted, mostly because I have been in New Haven and no one ever wants to come.
