Unfortunately, this will be brief as my procrastinatory self put this off for far too long. However, I will say that I'm a down to earth person just trying to balance the obligations of school with my affinity for bumming around. But so far so good!

I'm very empathetic/sympathetic, enjoy good people and good conversation. I don't bore easily, either.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Immediate need. My friends and I (2 out of 3 are featured in one of my photos) decided on a spontaneous trip to Philadelphia, where we have created good memories before and plan to do so again. That being said, those are our only plans. We would like to stay as a group but will of course find separate places to stay should we need to. I'm arriving in Philadelphia tomorrow June 27th at around 7pm and would very much like a place to stay for the night, perhaps multiple nights. :) Both my friends and I are constantly seeking out genuine, kind, and curious people to hang out with! Most importantly: **I/we am/are extremely respectful and would never break your boundaries**

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly, just getting fucked up with my friends and walking along the hundreds of urban canals in Birmingham, England. It sounds anti-climactic, but I don't think I've ever felt so excited and alive as I was within those hours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Swell conversation, a shitty Long Island Jew impersonation, compassion, platonic cuddles, and a general excitability. I also have a pretty good collection of quotes.

Also, pretty much anything you want. Chores, company, whatever, I'm your person!
