I am an aspiring minimalist, hopeful self-sufficient, personal trainer, photographer, bee keeper, and metro bike program employee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I trying to live a more minimalist life and free myself to travel and enjoy experiences more. I want to Couchsurf so I can enjoy areas I travel to, and I want to open my home to pay it forward and to meet people who are living their own dreams.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love memoirs, stories of people who made an impact or changed something. I'm not a big reader or movie buff, but if you have a book you loved that you want to leave behind for me or another couchsurfer to enjoy, I would be glad to keep it here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a motorcycle from Philadelphia to Saskatchewan, Canada alone, in March. It sucked!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a certified personal trainer, I would be happy to give you any nutrition, exercise and lifestyle advice you want. I don't judge-if you're happy, I'm happy. Eat, drink and live your life as you like! I would like to learn more about travel, gardening, meditation, home maintenance, you name it, I'm open to learning something. I believe everyone has a story, tell me yours!

My kitchen is open to cook what you like. I live a few blocks from a small local grocery store and a block from a bus stop that can get you downtown for more shopping. I have one bathroom downstairs. I have a nice front porch with seating I have a back porch with a fire pit and more seating. I have a washer and dryer for your use.
