Hey! My name is Bailey! My husband, Doug, and I live in Bensalem (NE Philadelphia border) and have two adorable cats, Daphne and Balto. We are both very fun and outgoing individuals with busy schedules but always try to make time for travel and new experiences. We are both lovers of the outdoors and anything on or in the water. I am a geologist and Doug is a molecular biologist so we are always up for a scientific discussion!

We live in Bensalem, although the NE Philly border is about 100 ft from the entrance of our apartment. Our apartment is ~11 miles from Center City Philadelphia (35 minute train ride, with a train station a quarter mile from our apartment). This neighborhood is more residential, however it is right on I-95 so with a car, downtown Philadelphia can be as close as a 15 minute drive, otherwise the train is extremely convenient. There are some fun bars nearby but our apartment itself if very quiet and spacious. We can offer a spare bedroom or a comfortable couch!
