Groups I Belong ToCouch Information
No couch currently available for surfing.  *****Will be out of the country from Nov 4th until Nov 11th*******
Hello,
The best days to greet you are Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays because I work in Old City and you can meet me in my office or at the Hotel (we have free wi-fi:Password=A0CB07CDF9, 0=Zero), leave your bags and walk around the historical places in the area while I get off from work (6pm..ish) and then I can drive you to my place.
On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays it is a little tricky because I work at another place in Media, PA in a call center where I'm not allowed to have my cell until I get off (around midnight).So it is very difficult to meet you unless you are already my host or you made arrangements with me before over the phone (and you have a cell phone I can call you back)
Please use the "Request to surf your couch link to contact me for a couch otherwise I may not respond until is tooooo late!!!!!!!***********
I'm currently living a mile away from my verified address in Fishtown/Kensington. But I'm still able to host!
*Keep in mind Couchsurfing is more than staying at someone's home for free...
My cell 267 285 3905 if you text me it is better because sometimes I can't hear the ring.

Personal DescriptionOutgoing, self-motivated and adept at multitasking...
(Yeah, I looked at my resume he,he!)
Seriously this is a hard one for me to answer, cause there are 2 Ana's in me so the first one:
I look very quiet, patience, analytic, confident about myself, organized, responsible, independent, ambitious,love challenges, quick learner, have a good control of my impulses (I know when to talk and when to shut up...:P)perfectionist and I enjoy to be number one. (What a selfish side, right?)
Now, the other Ana:
Very adventurous, when I'm in a crazy mood I can be so hyper and extroverted, I never try to be funny but people says I'm Goofy, and when I'm surrounded by persons I trust I totally open myself, I talk for hours and hours, I'm not ashamed to say "I love you", "I missed you" , "I'm pissed", "I want to help you", "I'm sorry"... :)
When I'm hurt I can cry for hours/days and I thank God I have a lot of friends that are always there for me.
I will do EVERYTHING for my friends and family, and that includes loosing control and beating the crap out of anyone that tries to hurt my people.
I'm very friendly, and open but when I feel used or I see someone taking advantage of another person then I turn...evil.
I don't like to argue but I'm very clever on what I say and what I do and I only warn once, and if people don't get it the first time...
I have a lot of stories to share about that :)
