CURRENT MISSION

A reporter in Anchorage.

ABOUT ME

After trying my hand at EFL/ESL teaching in China and in the US for a few years, I took a chance to work in radio in Nome, Alaska. I work in news, I live in Alaska, I love to travel and meet new people and hear good stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Write the story of your life in a way that it keeps even the most fickle reader entertained.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf the occasional couch, I try to be helpful to people if they're in my neck of the woods, but sadly, work precludes me from hosting very often (especially in the summer). But go ahead and ask, I may be able to swing it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Successfully surfed a couch; hoping to be able to offer a couch/bed to someone soon.
