Yo! My name's Neill - a Floridian living, studying, and freezing in Philly. I am a Master of Architecture student which means I'm often busy but I'm constantly trying to pop the social bubble that people always build up for themselves. Lets meet and have some good conversation.

日本語を勉強してます。
Parlo un po' di italiano.
Estoy practicando español!

ACCOMMODATIONS:
I am currently living in a rowhouse in West Philly (U City). I am a few minutes walking from the metro and a 20 minute walk from Penn campus. The house is small and as such I can only fit 2 (maybe 3) surfers at once. I have a couch and a futon mattress for anybody looking to stay with me.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
I would love to show people around (I'll let you know if I have time). I can share events happening around the city and some pretty great spots to see the city! I love hanging out, so I will try my best to make some time to show any guests around a bit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to make new friends, hang out, and meet people from different walks of life. I want to break out of my own bubble and get a better perspective on the world. As a host or a guest, I hope to have a better understanding of how people live!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all kind of things about the buildings, furniture, and design around you every day! I also love to swap musical artists with people I encounter (I've been told I got good music taste, but that'll be up to you to decide) Currently, I am trying to learn more Japanese, Italian, and Spanish. Also interested in: running, drawing, photography, movies, and good conversation over coffee!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A genuine attitude, some good stories, and I can teach you how to play Shogi!

Sidenote: I have a policy of not writing references until after a guest leaves
