CURRENT MISSION

explore, play with children and animals, help people wherever I can, eat good and exotic foods, and sleep well

ABOUT ME

I am a country girl living in the thriving metropolis of Philadelphia. Much of my time is spent a few blocks south of CCity working at a Mission called Broad Street Ministry. I sing quite often, play the guitar and have recently become infatuated with the ukulele. In my free time I love to play with my friends kids, walk around in the country barefoot, travel to foreign lands when I have a little extra cash, drink delicious beverages and spend time with people.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because it was given to me. My hope is to add good things to the world around me, to be a positive force in the world, and to give to it. My wish is to learn from all I come into contact with and laugh a lot with those around me. I live my life to change the lives of others for the better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just learned about CS and it falls right in line with what I am all about: hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We are hosting a few girls from North Korea at present and it's been a pretty magical time. I think this is a great way to connect a little more with the world.
