ABOUT ME

Born in Berkeley, raised in Berkeley and Oakland, across the Bay from San Francisco. Went to school in New York, then lived in Los Angeles for four years, where I worked in music supervision for film & TV. Lived in Cambridge three years studying law. Now working as a law clerk in Boston for one year before moving to New Orleans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed extensively on my 'round the world trip in 2009, before I took the plunge and went to law school. Through law school I unfortunately had roommates somewhat squeemish about CS so I wasn't able to host. I did meet up with surfers passing through Boston on occasion. I recently moved into a studio apartment and am excited to finally be able to host surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed around the world: all across the US, in Spain and France, and along the Trans-Siberian railway in far-flung Russia. All my experiences have been positive - I'm amazed at how well I get along with everyone in the CS community.
