I was a champion bowler in high school.

I once got detention in high school for convincing my English teacher that the gum I was chewing (prohibited) was a stress-reliever ordered by my doctor. . .

I don't trust people who don't like dogs . Although, now that I think about it, one of my best-friends doesn't like dogs. Oh boy, this is awkward...

I was not a champion bowler in high school.

After all the shenanigans and ballyhoo, I was raised in CT and then Philly . . . have been living in DC for the past few years and I love it. So much fun and free stuff to do! I lived in Manhattan for many years so apparently Frank Sinatra thinks I can make it anywhere :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

One of my favorite things I've ever done was to travel East Africa by myself and stay in hostels. I met so many cool people and people who really had a thirst for life. No better way to become part of the universe than to jump right in :)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm a very outgoing and easy person to get along with ... I really love life and don't want to watch it go by. I'm also really open minded and love learning new things.

However, I am not so good at pitching a tent -- but I like to camp. Ergo, if you know how to pitch a tent, we might get along. You get the tent ready and fight off bears and I'll get the smores started. Fair trade.
