I've been an educator in some form or other since I was 19. I spent the last 13 years as a teacher at a tiny democratic alternative school. My great love is the crazy shit our species has done with our capacity for abstract thought, particularly imaginative storytelling (mythology, etc.). I'm now working toward a career in voice acting, so that's cool, I guess. If you let me stay at your place, I'll totally read you awesome stories, with voices and everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met a really cool woman in upstate NY, and I'm trying to rock the long-distance-dating-on-a-budget thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a super handsome ghost one time. He was so classy, and I can only hope to one day hold my dignity as he did his.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all kinds of cool stuff, particularly in the fields of Anthropology, Mythology, Short Story Writing, and History! Philosophical conversations are included free of charge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hard work as needed (I'm pretty strong, I guess), a happy willingness to clean, and a say yes attitude to most anything. I'm drugfree, too, so yay for that. I'm not judgmental, either! Uh, mostly my stock-in-trade is deep thought and quality conversation, so feel free to plunder to the extent that suits your interests.
