CURRENT MISSION

To live my life well and be a force for good.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, went to college in Winchester, Virginia and lived on and off in New York for several years. I've lived in Austin for two years now and I have no plans to leave-this is a great place. I love to play music, have great conversations, ride bikes, practice yoga and go swimming.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be mean. Ride a bike. Laugh as much as possible. Don't brag. Do what you say you will do. Work hard at things you care about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a little bit in the US, and lived in houses where we hosted Surfers. I have my own place now, so I'm new at hosting. It's an amazing and magical thing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies-Wes Anderson and Woody Allen are my favorite directors, but Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is my all time favorite movie.

Music-I love music-pretty much anything but metal. Not that metal's bad, it just doesn't do anything for me personally.

Books- Catch-22, A Short History of Nearly Everything,and every word Kurt Vonnegut and PG Wodehouse ever wrote.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One Day in Ecuador-I climbed a mountain, watched the sunrise and did yoga on top of that mountain, bungee jumped off a bridge, went whitewater rafting down the Rio Verde, had an amazing dinner and sat in a hot tub with great friends. It was one of the best days of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play many instruments, and could definitely share that knowledge!

I'd like to learn Spanish.
