I teach human rights and organize events at a small American college in Bologna and work as a journalist on the side. I've lived in several countries and visited a couple dozen, and feel very fortunate to have met so many wonderful people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed a lot of couches over the years, although not through this site, and now figure this is a good way to pay it forward. I'm looking forward to being a member of the couchsurfing community.
