About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to learn. to have fun. to enjoy the ride.

ABOUT ME

I am a graduate student at UPenn getting a Master's in Criminology. I drive a little red Vespa around the city, so if you see me... wave. I love to travel and to learn. I am going to finish my degree in May and then travel around the world for a year or more, possibly teaching English.

PHILOSOPHY

If I were to write a book it would be called:

The Secret to Happiness: Chill the F*#% Out.

I believe people take small things in life way too seriously. If you worry about every little bump in the road, you don't get to look around and enjoy the trip.

Relax. Have fun. Life is short, don't waste it being unhappy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't offer a couch right now, but I can show you around Philly and get a drink with you if you would like.

Interests

My interests are always evolving, but my lifelong loves will always be basketball, good music (listening... sadly I cannot sing or play, although it does not stop me), traveling, dogs, and 2 wheeled vehicles. Interests of the moment: photography, drawing, law.
