About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be your phriend

ABOUT ME

I'm an optimist: I assume that people are friendly and smart until proven otherwise. I prefer to listen to people rather than talk. I poke fun at myself and others.My time is generally spent doing the following: exercising (eg soccer, tennis, running), reading, cooking (eg smoking fish), experiencing cultural stuff (especially performance art), hanging out at bars/restaurants, and riding my bike to and from these activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

opening my home to anyone who'd like to come check out the city of brotherly love (philadelphia)!

When I'm available to be a proper host, I'll look at the general couch requests. I will not accept surfers with no references unless you want to just grab a beer or coffee. FYI, You can accumulate references by participating in your local CS community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
