Hi! I am 23 and a recent graduate of Drexel University. I work in center city Philadelphia at Independence Blue Cross. I grew up in the suburbs of New York City and am still looking for a good enough bagel to beat the ones back home. I'm a novice when it comes to traveling, but now that I've graduated university, I am very excited to have more time to meet new people and see awesome new places!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because me and two of my best friends are taking some time off to travel the United States. It's something we had been talking about for a while, and just decided to take the leap. Their names are Stan (23) and Jenna (22).

Interests

I love cooking, walking around Philadelphia, drinking beer, making lists, gardening, watching history-based documentaries and running.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Become financially independent from my parents. I think it's pretty amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dining experiences. I love to try new foods and talk about food. I think it's awesome how food is consumed with every one of the senses and then it's linked to a memory. Everytime I even think of the word Po' Boy, I am reminded of the time me and my sisters were sitting out on a deck in the sunshine sipping on bacon bloody mary's and eating po' boys in New Orleans. Now everytime I eat one I think of how great that whole weekend was.
