CURRENT MISSION

Bring the world closer together

ABOUT ME

Been moving around since I was a little kid as an Army brat. Lived in Europe for a few years through high school, and I worked teaching in China and volunteered in Peru for seven/eight months. I want to get a doctorate in Comparative Lit so I can be a polyglot and work showing how we are different and the same simultaneously. I want to eat the world and be happy knowing it's in my belly. I want run through a library and know everything in a book just by touching it. Beer and good conversation make the world go round.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to help out without making things worse.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now that I've got a place with more space, I can host a bit! But I'm always down to talk up New Orleans, go out for a bit, have a drink, enjoy some good conversation. Tell me about what you're in to.

Music, Movies, and Books

All over the place, but where it has something beautiful (even if, especially if, it's a beautiful truth or painful one) I probably want in.
