CURRENT MISSION

To finally finish this damn novel

ABOUT ME

I'd say I'm a 30 year old writer with a dog named Iggy, a beloved record collection and an unhealthy obsession with the novel High Fidelity. I spend my days riding my bike around town interviewing bands and comedians, only to hunker down in a bunker in the evenings to write stories. Try and make it out to shows and bars as much as possible, but mostly end up at my desk, slowly going blind in front of a computer screen.

PHILOSOPHY

To Live Outside the Law You Must Be Honest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I first discovered CS while living/working in a hostel in San Francisco. Since then I've stayed with some lovely folks in Austin, TX and in D.C. While living in Denver I've hosted a few starry eyed travelers myself. Love it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some of the most brilliant and hospitable folks while traveling around the globe, and have thoroughly enjoyed hosting travelers on my couch. It's a way to get an international experience without having to update my passport.
