About Me

CURRENT MISSION

volunteer, student, traveler, ice cream expert, writer.

ABOUT ME

I'm new on couchsurfing but have lived all over the world -- working at a software company 9 months a year, then volunteering for three months in Africa, Middle East, etc.

I love traveling and sharing stories. Technical writing (degree from RIT) pays the bills and supports my ice cream addiction. I play piano, sing and noodle around on a guitar to write songs.

PHILOSOPHY

It's not about me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to show people around Boston and meet new people.

Since i am new to the area, i am excited to go see new things with people--if you tell me 2 weeks in advance about coming, i can get us free tix (worth 30 bucks each) to the aquarium and other local museums (from the library)!

i like meetups and i surf if i get a chance :D.
