One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a polar bear research camp in the Arctic Circle. Twice. It was fun. I've also had some crazy jobs in D.C.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to discuss the topics I'm most knowledgable in, which include international relations, polar bears (I've studied them in the Arctic), and good bourbon (I'm from Kentucky). I love listening to people's stories and tales of passion, and hope to pick up several while couchsurfing.
