Hi! Although I currently live in Philadelphia, I will be teaching at Dartmouth College from September to December and would love a place to crash for a few days in Hanover, NH in early September while I look for a sublet! Then, beginning January 1, 2015, I'll be living in DC for the foreseeable future where I'll teach courses about Congress (and where I'll have an open couch)!

Some more random facts: back in the day, I was a 5th grade English teacher in Houston, Texas. I have played the drums for about 15 years, and I am a professional magician. If we meet, I might just do some magic tricks for you!
