I quit my day job as a Geologist last year to spend some time traveling. I spent a lovely few months in Central America, and now I'm in Southeast Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a world traveler looking to meet friends in new cities. When I'm back home in Philadelphia, I'll gladly be accepting visitors. Currently, I'm traveling around Southeast Asia including Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. It would be great to meet some like-minded people in any of these countries!

Teach, Learn, Share

All of the above. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm by no means a culinary expert, but I do love to cook. I'd be able to share food, cooking techniques, recipes, and great meals with hosts.

I'm also handy at sewing and mending things. I'd be happy to sew those ripped jeans for you in exchange for your hospitality.

I also love swapping movie and TV show files with people. I have a massive collection to choose from.

I like to play guitar and can share sweet jam sessions with my hosts.
