I'm originally from Philadelphia, and love showing others around this city. I lived in Paris for 7 months when I was 21, and felt so grateful learning about the city through the lens of locals.

I like going on hikes, bike rides, visiting museums, restaurants, and getting to know new people. Don't hesitate to reach out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to get to know a city is through meeting the people who live there. I would like to allow others the opportunity to do this in Philly, and explore other cities around the world this way myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like almost everything, but I mostly listen to folk/pop/rock/pop. My top artists on Spotify last year were The National, Julia Nunes, Lake Street Dive, Wild Child, Leon Bridges, Ben Howard, Waxahatchee

Books: mostly fiction and memoirs. The last book that "blew my mind" was Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann

Movies: My favorite movie is Short Term 12 (Brie Larson is my favorite) but I am a big movie nerd in general and will essentially watch anything. Movies from the last few years I've loved are Mid-90s, The Favourite, The Big Sick, Get Out, Disobedience, and many others
