I work as a writer. Traveling is a big part of my life so if you're curious about the world too, we'd likely get along. I'm also really into scuba diving (the picture is me in the Galapagos a few years ago—best trip of my life).

I’m very into books as well, with a definite academic/nerdy side.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Wish I could host more, but never had roommates open to the idea. Would love to meet travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My only time crashing with someone was in Egypt. The guy lived on the top floor of an old high-rise over looking Cairo. Awesome experience.

Interests

Scuba diving and underwater photography are my two favorite hobbies. Also reading, lots of reading. And obviously writing and way too much travel for my own good

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
