ABOUT ME

People say that I am funny, worldly, brutally honest and sometimes charming. I am known for my adherence to the teachings of the Baha'i Faith and bicycles. I am generally a little agitated about the things that are going wrong in the world, but I am constantly trying to engage with those problems in a constructive way. There is a cat named after me in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to use host couch surfers or be a couch surfer (at least through this service), BUT many of my friends have been hosts and surfers and through this I have met many and learned all about it.

Interests
