Hi! I’m Silas, from Philadelphia (USA). I’m 19, solo traveling SE Asia and the Pacific on a gap year. I have 1 sister, my mom and dad, and a tiny dog (chihuahua rat terrier mix) at home (not traveling with me) so I adore pets and animals. I speak english, but would love to learn about your culture and language. Immerse me in your lifestyle and I’ll be happy! I went to design school for a year in Savannah, GA (USA), and have yet to decide if I’m going back. I’m super into business, philosophy, psychology, and history. I love learning from all interesting types of people. I enjoy running, scuba diving, playing and learning new sports, and I’m getting better at surfing. There’s much I want to learn and experience on my year abroad, and I’m looking for exciting people to share it with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
