I'm a frequent user of Airbnb. I live in the rural burbs of Philadelphia and love interacting with people of all cultures. If I won the lottery, I would see the world and then donate to charities.
I am married, have a wonderful extended family and incredible friends. Two cats. I read, write and watch educational TV. I love art museums, Indie films, home design and fashion design. My guilty pleasures are shows like Hoarders and my 600 pound life. I love food and will try just about anything, just don't tell me where it came from. I love organized sports of all kinds and I am a true blue Phillies, Flyers, Sixers and Eagles fan.
I consider myself spiritual and global. I'm a glass half full person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was just introduced to Couchsurfing from a well traveled entrepreneur. I'm considering opening my home to guests when my son goes to China in January and may want to use it when I visit him in China.
