Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy both hosting and surfing.

I've stayed in Nederland, Boulder, San Francisco, Portland, and Milwaukee, and I've hosted surfers in Champaign and in Chicago. I've also had my fair share of cyclists crash at my place through warmshowers.org.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love oldies.

Broad City is my jam.

I'm down to read just about anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a solo bike trip to Ely, Minnesota (from Chicago) and then another solo cycle trip to Denver, Colorado (also from Chicago). Both trips were extremely liberating.

Internationally, Germany, Costa Rica, Mexico City, and Cozumel hold a special place in my heart, along with Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn how to use touchscreens. They're hard.

I can teach you about special education, if you're so inclined to learn about disabilities and how public schools meet the needs of students who learn differently.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer booze, a place to rest thy weary wings, and two bicycles (though they're 56/57 cm, so if you're smaller than 5'9" it may be a struggle) for you to take out and ride. Also, one has no brakes. So, yeah.
