CURRENT MISSION

Work hard, play hard and do no harm.

ABOUT ME

I am a reporter living near the U.S.-México border and work for a local newspaper. I'm new to the area, and just arrived in early July. I'm originally from Iowa, but have lived in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Cuernavaca, Mor., México.

When I'm not working I enjoy travel in Mexico.

I hope to become better at my craft and travel the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Do no harm, love what you do and do what you love. That, and everything is subject to change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CS, but my couch is available for anyone who wants to crash.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Monterrey the first time over Labor Day weekend 2007, hosted some rad cyclists on their way from NYC and The Big Easy on their way to Guatemala and Campeche, partied with other cool CS people in the Rio Grande Valley.

Surfed in Roatán, Honduras in April 2010 and did some amazing snorkeling and met some wonderful people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had Angkor Wat all to myself on a trip in early 2010. Waited for the sun to go down and security to kick us out. It's a very quiet place with nobody else around.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make a pretty darn good homemade brick-fired pizza, and it's easier than you'd think.
