I enjoy meeting open-minded people who expose me to new ideas and experiences. I also enjoy getting outdoors for a run or bike ride, or going to museums and events around my home city of Washington, DC, so I'd be interested in hanging out if I have free time during your visit.

NOTE: Please make sure your profile has been verified before requesting to stay with me. I give preference to people with verified profiles and positive reviews from other hosts/travelers. It's also generally easier for me to host on weekends and during fall, winter or springtime because my house isn't air conditioned and it gets very hot in the summertime! Let me know if you're stuck and we'll work it out.

Thank you!

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

CouchSurfing is Diplomacy 101. I enjoy meeting locals, hosting people, and sharing time with one another. I believe that opening our homes, hearts and minds to others can make the world a better place.

Durand Jones and the Indications. MOVIES: Dancer in the Dark, Das Experiment, Run Lola Run, Whalerider, Once Were Warriors, Hereditary.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

I rode my bicycle across the United States, from Seattle to Boston, when I was 13 years old. I also lived in Samoa for 3 years, teaching math, chemistry and physics as a Peace Corps volunteer.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Photography, the art of capturing a moment in a fixed two-dimensional space.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

I'll take you out to dinner or drinks. I'm not super, uniquely talented but I enjoy good conversation and happy to help out around your house or with yardwork, etc.
