August travel plans: Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 ➡️ Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 and Mexico City 🇲🇽 ➡️ San Diego 🇺🇸

People say I’m an easy-going, positive and fun person. I hope that if you’re reading this you get a chance to make your own opinion about me. I’m new to CouchSurfing but am happy with the experiences I’ve had so far, and wish I would have started using this app sooner!

I enjoy being active - you can often find me running, hiking, or biking. I also enjoy hosting Friday night dinners in my home in Philadelphia. I currently work as a program manager for a helicopter manufacturing company. I’m grateful that I get to travel for work sometimes, because I usually take a week or two to explore that country after my work is done.
