CURRENT MISSION

I just want to learn as much about this great planet as possible through reading, showing others, and travelling myself :-).

ABOUT ME

Hello,

My name is Angie and I am a 26 year old female from the Philadelphia, PA area of the United States.

I currently work in tourism for a great company called Contiki. www.contiki.com... I am a tour manager, and I take groups of 18-35 year olds all over the United States and will soon be going to Canada as well.

I guess I am based out of Los Angeles, CA, but have pretty much been on the road for the past year, which includes a trip to England and a trip to Japan in addition to just working.

Before that, I lived in New York City working in television production. I hosted a few couchsurfers, but that was a while ago. I no longer have a couch!

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play hard. Live life to the fullest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Prior couch owner. Looking to be a couch surfer in Europe with my cousin in March 2008.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2005/2006 couch owner. My favorite was a lovely French girl named Matilde who was in her early 20s. She was doing a study abroad in Quebec, Canada and wanted to see New York. She was great! She had researched NYC so thoroughly she had taught me a thing or 2!
