Hi, I'm Gess! I live in a great little house in Philly with my sister Em. We have two pups and I have a pet gecko too. I'm hoping to make some great connections and share my space now that I am able. I am an outgoing but very genuine and grounded person, I'm interested in a really wide variety of things, but especially psychology, spirituality, travel (obviously), and philosophy. I like to go out dancing, try new restaurants, cook at home, and be in nature. I'm overall very easy going but try to be clear about my boundaries.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Love travel, meeting new people, experiencing other cultures, and being a host!

兴趣

I was an English major, so I love talking about interesting books, poetry, and films. I've seen way too many movies.
I'm passionate about working with kids and have almost 8 years experience with various forms of child care, private lessons, and coaching. I'm hoping to work with kids abroad after I save up a bit.

教，学，和分享

I can help anyone with their English skills. Besides that, I'm a decent cook, a good dancer, and an experienced competitive swimmer.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm a great time to party with, a great conversationalist, a respectful, considerate person, and I've read a lot of books. I'm liberal, and am very open to religious discussions, being undecided myself. I eat anything and everything, and am almost always willing to try new things.
I can teach you to swim better, but don't know how many people are looking for that haha.
