I'm from California but I've been living in Toronto, Canada for almost 12 years. I'm a sociology professor at the University of Toronto. I teach university courses and do research.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went zip lining for the first time last year over a 500 foot gorge!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning about other people's experiences, not only in traveling but in their lives. Everyone has an interesting story to share.
