ABOUT ME

Teacher, travel addict.

PHILOSOPHY

Even when things suck, you might as well be in a good mood about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a bunch, now I'm hoping to pay it forward by hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed almost all of a three-week trip with my sister through Eastern Europe. So many amazing people opened their homes to us, a pair of dirty backpackers. I've surfed in Copenhagen and Istanbul, too. It's the only way to travel.

Interests

Abandoned Philly buildings, good food that can be eaten outside, trying to take artsy photos with a sub-par camera.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sunset in Oia, Santorini, on Christmas Eve, then hopping on an ATV to drive along the rocky highway at night. In the freezing rain. Terrifying, but amazing.

Other greats? Wandering through Argentine penguin colonies, hitchhiking in Patagonia, getting lost in Moroccan markets, singing Billy Joel in Irish pubs, eating a hamburger under a bridge in Istanbul, nearly catching fire at Las Fallas.
