I'm a 20 years old and journalism student studying at Syracuse University. I hail from the Philadelphia suburbs and I have a particular love for music journalism and music in general despite not being able to play an instrument myself. I'm a media glutton for music, movies, TV, and books. my Netflix queue, Spotify library, and bookshelf are all bursting at the seams. Big Love for Philadelphia and Syracuse sports teams and always down for a game of pickup basketball. I like to run long distances for fun but I assure that's not the red flag it seems to be. I'm a triplet (fraternal, a brother and sister the same age) with a little brother. I love them dearly even if we can get on each others nerves. I'm a pretty independent person but I love meeting new people and making new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get out of my little corner of the world, the little places that we carve out for ourselves and get to call home. I see folks that never spend significant time anywhere outside of their home state or the east coast. I've slowly been expanding the edges of the earth I've seen. Been as far north as Toronto and as far south as Miami but there's still a lot of the world I'm missing, I don't intend to leave it that way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a bit of photo and video editing software. I'm always open for learning about new cultures and picking up whatever I can of a language. travel recommendations adn tips on things to do are always welcome and if you want to know of a few things to do in the States, I can provide more than a few recommendations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make pretty good cup of coffee with a french press and a grinder. I'm a pretty good drinking buddy a conversationalist. I'm a halfway decent cook although my recipe book is lacking. I'm open to new experiences and adventures. I'm clean, well-mannered guest that, thanks to having 3 siblings and limited sleeping accommodations times, can sleep anywhere that I fit into.
