About Me

**MAX 2 NIGHTS FOR REQUESTS**

Things that will give you an automatic NO reply from me (so please don't bother if you're going to do any of these things):
-burying your request in a direct message (I will not respond)
- copied and pasted messages where it is obvious you have not looked at my profile (why would I take time out of my day to host you if you don't have enough time to look at my profile?)
- requesting more than 2 nights
- requesting more than one week away (you might receive a maybe)

Recently moved to DC from Nashville. Work in political consulting. Spent a few years between Europe and Asia and did an MA along the way. Looking to meet new people in the city and host travelers that are coming through.

The couch: have a couch and an air mattress. The apartment is spacious - I have my own private bedroom and you would be crashing in the living room. There's an adjoining kitchen and a back patio/yard as well. I live in the Adams Morgan neighborhood, very convenient for public transit and walking distance to coffee shops, bars, restaurants, grocery stores and public transit access points.

Please note that I travel a lot for work, often with only a few days notice. Thus, any requests over a week away from when you are wanting to stay may be difficult to confirm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently moved to DC and reigniting my old profile... back in college I hosted dozens of couch surfers for over 2 years in Nashville, TN. Surfed a few times as well in the US, parts of Europe and in Southeast Asia.
