ABOUT ME

While most of my backpacking days seem to be behind me, I am always looking for new ways to meet and host travelers when possible. I currently work in tech outside of Philadelphia.

I am an outgoing, adventurous, spontaneous, outdoorsy person who loves to meet new people, share life experience, and learn more from people from around the world. I have a love for travel - not as much because of the sites or history, but more because of the people you meet and the stories you hear along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My most memorable backpacking experiences didn't involve the sights I saw, but the people I met. Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to meet amazing people.

Interests
