About Me

Web Developer, Digital Activist, Friend

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm somewhere new and exciting but still broke

Currently in LA longer than expected, was filming a sizzle for a reality show about building tech startups but the filming needs to be finished later this month. I'd rather not fly to Boston and back 4 times in half a month!
