Hello! My partner and I are traveling across the United States this summer. We used to live in Philadelphia but have moved out of the city and over into New Jersey to start new paths. I am going back to school to get another degree and he wants to find a new career. Before we dive into all that we want to see some places first!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul. ~~William Henley
