ABOUT ME

I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It's a great little city with lots of idiosyncrasies and out-of-the-way neighborhoods. I'm an avid cyclist, and love to ride around Pittsburgh. I work at a restaurant and at a cocktail bar. I recently finished a degree in philosophy.

I really enjoy meeting new people, and showing folks who've never been here the mysteries of Pittsburgh. It's my goal to be a good listener, talker, and friend.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the past I've surfed and hosted, and also participated in some local PGH CS events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed my way around New Zealand and on the West Coast of the United States. It's been an enriching experience. The people I've met through Couchsurfing have been unique, open, and thoughtful. Couchsurfing has shown me new ways for people to relate to each other.
