Most of my time is spent staying active/healthy, trying new restaurants/bars, checking out Chicago's live music scene, and traveling. I generally live a healthy lifestyle, but enjoy myself as well. This summer I enjoyed the night life of Havana, climbed Colorado's two highest peaks, completed the Chicago Triathlon, and enjoyed Chicago's music scene.

Looking forward to meeting some interesting people as I continue my travels in Amsterdam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS because of an upcoming trip to Amsterdam. Want to meet some locals or fellow travelers to show me around, or join me as I eat and drink my way across the city.
