ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people, learning, traveling (of course), dancing as much as humanly possible. I love shaking up the normalcy through creative disruption. I'm into BIKES BIKES BIKES (riding, touring, mechanics), dancing, farming/gardening, foraging, herbal medicine, co-counseling, reading, trying to cook new recipes, and my kitty Felice. I find that the best way to spend time and money is traveling and I enjoy working to save up for my next big adventure!

PHILOSOPHY
Love all, trust a few, and do harm to none.
It is connection that heals us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking to meet new people, learn from other cultures, and most importantly, share in the joy of life's experience. I try to host travelers when I can- I have just moved into a new space and would love to welcome travelers and Philadelphia visitors to stay with me here. I've enjoyed many amazing couchsurfing experiences. I think CS is such a wonderful way to build community and a network of adventurers/travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed a few times and have LOVED it. Couchsurfing is the best way to meet new people and to truly experience a new place.

Interests

I love to dance- mostly salsa, bachata, merengue, and cha cha. I'm also into jazz music and play the drums and the ukelele in my spare time. I love riding my bike, fresh fruit, pickles, Battlestar Galactica, people-watching, psychology, farming, foraging, permaculture, herbal medicine, brewing, beer, writing letters, and much much more.
