CURRENT MISSION

i'm traveling around Italy for the month of August!

ABOUT ME

I'm very easy going and usually up for anything! I love meeting people and I love good coffee.

I live in Philadelphia, and spend most of my year traveling the country to make artwork on residencies. In between, I have a lot of odd jobs. This month, I'm working construction--hanging trim/painting/ fabricating cabinets and vanities.

Traveling will always be a part of me. I really like the physical part of travel--taking long trains and long drives. I just got my motorcycle license, but I'm a bicyclist at heart and I prefer walking to experience a place.

I really like corny jokes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS. I hear great things about it! When I get back I plan to offer up my own couch. In the meantime, I'm open to showing any travelers around Philadelphia.
