The neighborhood is in a diverse community people from around the world. I teach Spanish to little children in a private school in the area. I have the summers off and like to travel around. I like to exercise. I live with my son. My daughter is in Los Angeles. This is a multicultural, multilingual home. I have guests from The US and different countries of the world. I have been living in Philadelphia and in my current neighborhood for 25 years. I enjoy hosting guests. I mostly host students and professionals and I can offer ways to get around the city and good tips on where to eat. A number of our guests stayed with us while attending UPenn, Drexel, U. of Saint Josephs and Temple University.
