I'm a Foreign Service Officer currently in the states on leave in between assignments. I was just working in Peru and am now on my way to Afghanistan!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people when I'm in town, and stay with people when I travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've both hosted and traveled via couchsurfing in Central Asia and Russia. I wasn't able to host for several years when I was in Latin America, but now that I am back in the U.S. I can host again!
