I like meeting people and realize that I am one of the "older" people in this community. I will share my Philadelphia apartment and hope to meet many world travelers. Years ago I shared my apartment in Austria and later in Germany with people I met on the road. There was no couch surfing. Also when I am traveling I will share my experiences living at the Grand Canyon, hiking in NY, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and hiking from Lewes, Delaware to Washington DC. I lived in NYC for 8 years. I have also lived for four years in Europe. I traveled in an rv for 3 1/2 years across the USA. I am a craftsperson, I make windchimes and sell them at Arts and Craft fairs. www.windsunsilver.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to share a place to stay with people visiting Philadelphia and I am again planning a three month trip in Europe. I love to share stories of travel and adventure from around the world. I prefer learning about new places from people who live there and want to share. Although I am in Philadelphia now, I have lived in New York City, Boston, Upstate New York, and New Hampshire, Grand Canyon, New Jersey...
