I am a 24 year old recent graduate from the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. I am working as an IT consultant at IBM and living in Chicago.

In my 24 years I have done all sorts of odd jobs and met many great people. I like to learn from others, and am a good listener!

I am open to people of all beliefs and backgrounds!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing because I love meeting interesting people from all over the world. The exchange of culture and opinion between people of different walks of life is an enlightening experience.

I also would love to share my city with curious travelers!

A hotel is expensive! So is rent! The exchange of culture and sharing space makes sense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in Ha Long Bay (One of the 7 Natural Wonders of The World) off of a Chinese Junk Boat! I know it says one, but I have to add one more. Driving motorbikes through the mountains of Indonesia at Lake Toba was simply breathtaking.
