CURRENT MISSION

to lap myself in the rat race

ABOUT ME

friendly, down to earth, don't take myself too seriously. I enjoy reconsidering my opinions on things, discussing government organization and criminal justice reform, hiking, sleeping outside, trying new food/restaurants, playing games, doing things that scare me but probably won't kill me, learning to play the fiddle, cycling, Kennedy Center's Millenium Stage, medical lectures, swimming, traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

every day is a gift

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

by providing a safe place to sleep, hot water, and clean towels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to the website, not to sleeping on other people's couches.

Interests

At home, I spend my free time cycling (casually), reading, working on the house, and eating in with friends. I also enjoy hiking, swimming, and skiing (poorly) from time to time. When traveling, I like trying/seeing as many new things as possible.
