CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying a new apartment and new life in Philly.

ABOUT ME

I am an extremely curious person. I am willing to sacrifice lots of time and money just to see how people live in different parts of the world. When I travel I am usually more excited to meet people and learn about life in the country than I am to see historical sites.

I am from Philly, but just returned to the city after living in Washington, DC for several years and in Africa for the past year. I currently work at an office in the suburbs at a 9 to 5 job.

PHILOSOPHY

The Golden Rule: One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. I try to live a life of non-judgement also.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I crashed on a few couches while I was traveling through Africa and the Middle East during most of the last year. Now I have just moved into my own 1 bedroom apartment and I'm open to hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only crashed on couches in the past.
