I'm much more of a listener than a talker, but love more than anything to respectfully discuss those sticky issues and our human affinities (sans mansplaining, of course). Ask away!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel that renting rooms is far more isolating than sharing them with a host who is invested in sharing a lens on their community. I also live in one of the most expensive places in the US on shoestring budget, and cannot really afford hotels or airbnb right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived nearly two dozen years in the bible belt buckle of Ohio.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach classical guitar.
I'm always interested in learning just about anything, given the interest/energy of the teacher.
I've plenty of interpersonal and intrapersonal experiences to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time, humor, energy, perspective, kindness.
