CURRENT MISSION

To Enjoy Washington and Hike Virginia

ABOUT ME

Mid-twenties professional with a studio apartment in the heart of DC. Worldly, out-going, spirited, intellectual, and goofy (yes, the last two qualities can go together quite handily).

PHILOSOPHY

Personally, I fall in the straight atheist/agnostic category but am open to all faiths and persuasions. All the better if you know how you are and like to talk about it. Oh, and I'm middle of the road politically (a little to the left on social issues and a little to the right on everything else).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One CouchSurfing experience in San Francisco with a terrific host and a great friend as a companion.

Interests

Hiking, concerts, opera, theater, movies, politics, conversation, beer, whisky/ey, coffee, any book I can find or even heard about, NPR, great food, and everything else I forgot but should have mentioned.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've had a problem reading anything but political, academic, and historical works on the Middle East and U.S. politics/foreign policy. My background in literature leaves me with a broader experience and perspective, however.

I've lived in some strange places and hope to live in several more before I have to pack my bags for good.

Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan
