CURRENT MISSION

Kick ass at nursing school

ABOUT ME

PLEASE NOTE! I can't host again until at least May 15th. Any requests before then will be declined.

Bit of an idealist. Philadelphia's number one fan. Grateful for my life and community here every day.

After years of odd jobs and pre-requisite science classes, I finally got into nursing school. My hosting availability may drop some while I'm busy with class and clinicals, but still hoping to take on the occasional surfer.

PHILOSOPHY

"Everyone good is necessary"-Adam Gnade, from 'The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Fighting the Big Motherfucking Sad'

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will make you something tasty to eat, time and schedule permitting.

Any and all Philly wisdom I have. I'm not a lifelong resident, but I've traveled to pretty remote corners of the city and spent an awfully large chunk of my life on local buses.
