Native NYorker that just came back from Australia, and I'm shopping/visiting US cities to find a new hometown for this wandering fool.

Workwise, my background is in the commercial photography industry, but I've also been freelancing as a business consultant and I do love helping startups with their starting up. Personally... my interests are random, ranging from knitting and hiking, to the philosophy behind moral panic and technological determinism, to "why are Japanese chopsticks metal?" and "what color popsicle do I want today?"

Keen on meeting locals, and fellow travelers, to trade weird stories over good beer in bad ass bars. A couch or bed would be nice, too!

Connecting with others is a magical thing :-)

Algo increíble que he hecho

Getting on the right bus in Medan, Indonesia, was quite the miracle, but so was scuba diving in Borneo.
I also got the runs while staying in the Sahara desert - that's considered amazing, no?

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I make an awesome plate of fried green tomatoes. I'm also good at giving business, career, and relationship advice, should you need.
