I'm an editor for a website about public media, living in DC. I play banjo in a band and enjoy biking, camping, travel, being outside. I'm friendly, laid-back, easy to get along with (at least I think so), mostly Buddhist in my outlook on things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to host but it's been a while since I have. Now I use Couchsurfing only rarely, for random trips.
