ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and having conversations about crossroads - where you are and where you see yourself. New Orleans, Nantes, Pittsburgh, and New Haven are the cities closest to my heart. I like the hipster-y stuff: thrift stores, great books, cheap beer, listening to records. but don't care for hipster condescension.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Always delighted to surf and / or host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed with fabulous people in Lyon, Venice, Istanbul, Lima, Brooklyn, Chicago, and Toulouse. Each time it's been a truly meaningful experience.

I've had the great pleasure of hosting people from all over in PGH and NOLA. With some notice, I will happily put you up in Denver!

CS is the best!

Music, Movies, and Books

music: anything on the kranky label. electronic / ambient / leftfield. old weird funk / soul. hip-hop.

movies: free solo. in the mood for love. le jete. the life of others. entre les murs.

books: gilead, invisible cities, infinite jest, ulysses, les chants de maldoror, the ones that upset my idea of what a book is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
