CURRENT MISSION

Education reform

ABOUT ME

I'm a gay public policy advocate, enjoying reading, hiking, TREES, outdoors and a healthy dose of fun with friends and occasional nightlife activities.

I have a fluctuating amount of space to offer so may not be able to honor all requests— sorry about that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's nice to expand the globetrotting network!

Interests

Reading, outdoors, music, teaching, learning, thinking, talking, exploring, wandering around new places with no agenda or plan, meeting new people and making them into new friends! I've traveled to many places around the world and love the experience of seeing the culture from a non-traditional standpoint (I like museums and monuments and all, but I feel the best way to gain appreciation for a new place is through wandering and exploring and chatting with awesome locals-- love it!!)

Music, Movies, and Books

The Royal Tenenbaums, other Wes Anderson, I read a lot and love fiction books of all kinds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen a platypus in the wild!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer a pretty decent city tour with some good inexpensive stops. I especially love to showcase Philadelphia's delicious food and craft beer at local restaurants and bars. I love Philadelphia and love to show it off!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Superior special organizing skills— let me at your cluttered cabinets and junk drawers.
