About me
About me
I do a lot of things. My day differs greatly from one to the next, which I love. I have a number of jobs: I'm a realtor in Philly, have a traveling corporate job, drive Uber and Lyft once in a while, and teach tennis on occasion.
I enjoy cramming my day and trying to get the most out of each one. I would be considered an aggressive traveler as I like to see tons of things which typically leads to little sleep. I enjoy films, reading, meeting new people, and trying new things. I also love to tell stories about my travels.
All in all I would say I try my best to appreciate my life and make the most of it.
Why Philadelphia
Where can you find the birthplace of America, more cheese steaks than you can shake a stick at, Rocky Steps, and some of the most candid people in the country?
Considered a foodie and an incredibly manageable city, Philadelphia stands out in the US as one of the best to visit and live. Philly still has a neighborhood feel to it but is home to more than 2 million.
To me Philly is the right kind of dirty. It has everything that a bigger city like New York has but still large enough you can get lost if you want. It's hard not to turn a corner and run into a mural as Philly has the most in the world with over 3,600. It's hard not to enjoy the Little Big City that can.

Grab your bike and go!
The "Navy Yard" in Philadelphia is perfect for bike rides next to carriers! I love coming here and discovering places for picnics & seeing the naval ships.

Philip's
The Old-Fashioned cheesesteak
"Philip's" in Philadelphia is a cheesesteak restaurant that mixes neighborhood and strip & that's a little different. My only tip? Just try to eat inside!

Ishkabibbles
The chicken steak
"Ishkabibbles" on Philadelphia's South Street is a great little local hole-in-the wall restaurant. It's got cheesesteak, but with chicken instead of beef.
