Updated profile: Just living in Philly, getting a Psyd in clinical psychology and more recently running a nonprofit (bkrb.org). I have to update my profile as the below is a bit old, but check it out and read my references by some of the super cool people I've met! ******** Old profile: I'm a New York native and after spending the first 20+ some odd years in the NY area, I've decided I needed to get out. I did some backpacking across Europe several summers ago, did a couple short US road trips this year, and recently move to Philly, PA just to change things up. I'm curious about a lot and as such, I enjoy engaging in impromptu philosophical convos with people I hardly know in hostels, on subways, or wherever. My mantra when traveling tends to be to follow your gut and say yes to interesting opportunities. On how I use this app - Dating apps are great for, well... dating, and CS is an amazing place to develop friendships with awesome, interesting people. I respect your privacy and safety and interact with others who I believe will act similarly in return. Tldr; we should all be respectful and not use this app to hookup / be upfront if you do

I hope I will find myself on Google Streetview someday. Strike that, I said that in 2013. Found it four years later. Working at Temple University, they give me a regular allowance so that I may enjoy things such as eating, drinking, traveling, cycling, driving, sports, and other such wholesome activities.

CURRENT MISSION I collect stories. ABOUT ME I am a sports and fitness photographer based in Philadelphia. Raised on the east coast, college in the midwest and have been to all 50 states. I'm addicted to traveling. Non-smoker. PHILOSOPHY I'll try anything once, except bungee jumping!

Hey there! I’m a college athletics coach living a life I’m incredibly grateful for and honestly just trying to soak up every blessing that comes with it. I get to do what I love, meet some pretty amazing people along the way, and keep growing into the person God created me to be. Life has been a wild ride so far, and I’m always curious to see what’s next. I’m a Midwest native who’s gotten to experience a little bit of everything. I’ve lived on the East Coast and loved the hustle, spent time in the South and absolutely fell in love with the hospitality, still my favorite 😂, then packed up and moved all the way to the inland Pacific Northwest, which gave me a completely different pace of life, some beautiful scenery, and experiences I never expected. And now life has brought me back East. I currently call Pennsylvania home. 🦁 Outside of coaching, I’m big on traveling, cycling, good food, deep conversations, random adventures, documenting life, meeting genuinely good humans, and experiencing places beyond the typical tourist stuff. I’m equally down for exploring a new city, sitting around a table talking about life for three hours, or finding some random little adventure that turns into the highlight of the trip. These days, I’m really intentional about living a full life outside of my career, collecting experiences, building community, being a blessing when I can, and leaving places and people a little better than I found them. Just trying to enjoy the journey, follow God’s lead, and collect some good stories along the way. 😁

I believe travel is such an important aspect of life. To experience different cultures first hand means to be able to gain a perspective we would normally not have in the comforts of our daily routine. I am so thankful for having the opportunities of being able to travel in this way. Solo travel has become something that has revolutionized my mind and brought about an independence and confidence in myself that continues to grow daily. I love meeting people and having great conversations. You always learn a little bit more about the world and about yourself at the same time.

I’m happiest when traveling and meeting new people. I prefer traveling off the beaten track and seeing how local people really live. I enjoy hearing about people’s lives, their belief systems, their struggles and their dreams. Nature relaxes me and allows me to feel connected to something bigger than myself. I try to spend time, even a few minutes, outside in nature every day. I’m a clinical social worker by trade and have spend a good portion of my career working with victims of child sexual abuse and domestic violence. Helping women get out of abusive relationship, develop resilience and inner strength and forge a new life has been some of the most satisfying parts of my life. I have a 26 year old son with profound autism and I am currently involved in advocacy efforts for people with disabilities as they transition into adulthood. I have a beautiful 20 year old daughter adopted from Guatemala who is currently studying art in Baltimore. Soy más feliz cuando estoy viajando y conociendo gente nueva. Prefiero viajar fuera de los caminos muy conocidos y ver cómo vive realmente la gente local. Disfruto escuchar sobre las vidas de las personas, sus sistemas de creencias, sus luchas y sus sueños. La naturaleza me relaja y me permite sentirme conectada a algo más grande que yo. Intento pasar tiempo, incluso unos minutos, afuera en la naturaleza todos los días. Soy un trabajador social clínico y he pasado una buena parte de mi carrera trabajando con víctimas de abuso sexual infantil y violencia de la familia. Ayudar a las mujeres a salir de una relación abusiva, desarrollar la capacidad de recuperación y la fuerza interior y forjar una nueva vida han sido algunas de las partes más satisfactorias de mi vida. Tengo un hijo de 26 años con autismo profundo y actualmente participo en esfuerzos de defensa para personas con discapacidades en su transición a la edad adulta. Tengo una hermosa hija de 20 años, adoptada en Guatemala, que actualmente estudia arte en Baltimore.

I’m Susana, living between Philadelphia and New York City. I have a calm, positive personality and genuinely enjoy connecting with kind, honest, and inspiring people who bring good energy wherever they go. Art is a big part of my life, and I appreciate beauty, creativity, and the finer details that make everyday experiences memorable. I value meaningful conversations, cultural exchange, and meeting people who are passionate about what they do. If our paths cross, chances are we’ll have an interesting story to share.

CURRENT MISSION To be a good human being and influence others to be the same and also to enjoy life and also party along the way too :) ABOUT ME I am a young professional currently working for a software company. I love meeting new and interesting people and learning about pretty much anything. I am always up for social and professional networking. I have not traveled a whole lot. One of my goals is to travel to different places and countries. PHILOSOPHY 'Athiti devo bhavah'(The English translation is-'The guest is God' or 'Guest become God.) In my culture guests are treated as Gods. Hence, I have joined this site with this saying as my motto. Life is a mystery with a beginning and an end. The goal in life is to make oneself happy and content. Simple living, High Thinking. Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
