CURRENT MISSION

I am intoxicated by the former Communist countires of Europe. I want to visit every soviet satallite country in Eastern Europe.

ABOUT ME

I had my first garden when I was eight. There always seem to be some new plant that I must have. About 7 years ago I started to learn the accordion. I am especially fond of traditional European folklore music.

I live by myself in a small house outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There is easy public transport very close to my home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just found out about this site from my local bike shop. I will be taking a trip to Hungary and Romania in a few days.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed in people's homes in Europe in the past,but it was totally by chance that I met my hosts. The wonder of this site is that you can plan to meet your hosts or guests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last January I participed in The Mummer's Parade in Philadelphia. After a whole year of practicing and work on our music and costumes we spent the whole day playing in Philadelphia.
