About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Create memories and cook some tasty meals

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CS.org, but I am more than willing to show travelers around Philadelphia and cook them a good meal. Still negotiating with roommates about letting people stay over.

Interests

In no particular order bicycles, bicycle repair, food, cooking, reading, turning fragmentary thoughts into some sort of statement, listening to music and good conversation, learning to speak spanish

I play the drums and I am also interested in programming drum machines. I would like to learn how to play the keyboard as well.
