CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and embrace local culture!

ABOUT ME

I want to see the world and help others do the same. I studied abroad for a short summer semester and ever since I've had a desire to go and explore other places and cultures. I currently live and work in Philly, PA where I work in marketing.

I enjoy the arts, especially live music. I love a good cup of coffee and if you are ever in my home town of Bowling Green, Ohio I will treat you to one of the best cups of coffee ever! Grounds for thought is the name of the coffee shop. Its a unique mix of used books/records. A rotating collection from a local artists can always be found on the walls at Grounds. This coffee shop probably best describes me...laid back but you don't have to look hard to find something unique. Above all else I love an enlightening conversation. I believe everyone has something to teach you.

I enjoy photography and design but need to make more time for both. I'm still trying to figure out what life has to offer me and trying to enjoy every second along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a few times. I try to attend the monthly Couchsurf potlucks and meet up with other surfers when i'm traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been a great way to meet lively people fully engaged with life! I was in Chicago on a thursday night and randomly met some surfers at the park to watch fire juggling. Great random experiences like this create the great culture of Couchsurfing.
