I am young at heart and love new adventures! I'm easy going and I try not to let too many things bring me down. Typically, you'll always see me with a smile on my face because....smiling is my favorite! :)

It is often said that whatever I am thinking shows on my face, so I guess I'm pretty honest about my feelings. hehehe

It's really hard to write about me...I'm just a chill person that loves to meet all sorts of other chill/cool people!

You can find me on Instagram if you'd like: phillyji

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's such a cool thing to be able to connect with people with different cultures than mine. I like to travel, albeit, I typically do it solo. :-/ I think this will be a great avenue to get to know people and make new friends/travel buddies!

Interests

Writing!! I love, love, LOVE to write! I also read, practice my guitar playing (still learning), and whatever else tickles my fancy. I recently taught myself how to knit...so i've semi-successfully knitted two scarves!

I like singing and dancing, although I am good at neither. :)

I enjoy cooking/baking, gym time, astronomy, taking pictures, and I'm pretty much obsessed with anything teenage mutant ninja turtles, mortal kombat, and designer toys (told ya I was young at heart!).

Oohhhh!! And I must say that I just adore Russell Peters...he's my favorite!
