CURRENT MISSION

I'm traveling all across America on my motorcycle over the course of about 3 months. The plan is to write a book about my experiences.

ABOUT ME

I just quit my job of 3 years working as a producer for Al-Jazeera English so I could head out on my motorcycle for the road trip of a lifetime. I'm traveling all throughout the New England area for most of June and early July before I'll start to make my way across the northern route all the way to Washington State. So far the trip has been pretty amazing but it'd be great if I could meet more interesting people along the way. As you can probably tell from my former job and my education, foreign affairs, particularly in the middle east, have always been keen interests of mine. But recently, I've developed a greater interest in things going on right here at home. Hence the motorcycle trip and I hope to see as much of the U.S. as possible before I run out of money and have to go back to working again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS and I'm on the road at the moment, but when I get back to DC, I've got an extra room with a great futon for any and all to enjoy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, I'm brand new to the site.

Interests

I love to read and I'm an aspiring writer. I'm also a big movie buff and can talk about films new and old for hours on end.
