My name is Polly and when I order something at a counter I often say Polly like the pocket so they know how to spell my name. I love taking adventures both big and small and am not afraid of much. I believe most people are good. My Southern roots make me hospitable a majority of the time. I believe anything is possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host when I can in Philly met surfers across Italy/the U.S.!

Also, I have attempted to spread the word of this wonderful website and get as many of my friends as possible involved and interested!

Interests

I am a big time bookworm, reading everything from Chekhov to romance novels. Also, with my theatre profession, I enjoy reading lots and lots of plays. While I am not proficient in playing musical instruments, I have constantly sung for things such as free manicures and a free shuttle ride from a parking lot to an arena! Right now I'm trying to teach myself the ukulele.
