There aren’t as many options for families with kids or older travelers, so I’m thinking I’ll try extra hard to host you if you’re in one of those groups!

I have been treated very well by this app and gotten to explore places I didn’t even know existed. I want to return the favor.

Though I prefer to make friends, I’m equally comfortable with travelers who are just trying to save money on their trip!

As a descendant of an old Quaker family, I have no creed. I’m open to hosting people from all religions, all nations, gay straight bisexual or something new! My only concern is that my house has a lot of steps and isn’t suitable if you have mobility issues.

I’ve never hosted anyone with a pet but maybe a cat or small dog would be fine.

As I said, I’ve received great hospitality and want to return the favor.

Bring a bottle of your local liquor and coffee beans. Come explore Philadelphia!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to list one thing, but they told me my profile was “sparse” so I’m adding more. :)

I’ve climbed the Great Wall, shopped the suq waqif in Doha, ridden thru the world’s busiest train station in Tokyo, swam off the western most beach on Kuaii, pet a baby sloth, touched Thomas Jefferson’s fossil collection, built an igloo, accidentally snuck into the Forbidden City, hiked a holy Buddhist island, swam in the Caribbean rainforests of Puerto Rico, hiked Cinco Terre, touched a Botticelli marble in Rome, had sex under the moon on the southern most beach in America, hiked Ancient Greek ruins, slept in a Paleolithic era cave dwelling, rode in an air balloon over Cappadocia, fed scary little street monkeys in Thailand, pet a tiger, surfed in Waikiki, met the world’s oldest jazz band players, crashed a wedding, prayed to the gods on holy Buddhist islands, in the grand mosque in Abu Dhabi, the Vatican, Hagia Sophia, Wat Chaiwatthanaram, etc etc etc etc etc!

Teach, Learn, Share

I never stop being amazed by the range of human experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am as comfortable with a traditional family as a weird hippy anarchistic.
