CURRENT MISSION

To meet cool people

ABOUT ME

Freshly minted Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, huge nerd, Mormon turned secular humanist (the least bad kind of atheist), bleeding heart liberal, voracious consumer of all kinds of media, politics junkee.

PHILOSOPHY

Any time you can make the world a bit less bad, you should do it.

Assume people are basically cool until they prove to be otherwise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting surfers, meet-ups, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a number of people but haven't had the chance to surf yet.

I like to give surfers a local view of Kumasi. I'll take you to the good chop and the spots with the coldest beers. I can recommend a few tourist spots and help you get Kente cloth on the cheap.

Interests

Chill folks and cold beer.

Travel - I want to pick your brain about your favorite places and things to do. I've spent enough time in Ghana to be able to point you towards a number of fun things to do, places to see, people to meet and things to eat!

Music, Movies, and Books

"The Wire" is my favorite thing on film. "Breaking Bad" is the best thing on TV today. (Original, right?)

I'll read anything by Kurt Vonnegut.

Bad science fiction is a guilty pleasure.

I un-ironically like 'Ace of Base'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm - Hundreds of millions of people across the developing world have climbed out of poverty. The internet. iPads.

Teach, Learn, Share

French speakers welcome - I'm trying to learn.

I'll give anyone a quick tutorial in Twi to help you around the station and impress Ghanaians.
