ABOUT ME

Born and spent my young years on the beautiful shores of Lake Superior in northern Wisconsin. My dad's job moved us around a lot in Middle and High School. I got to travel a lot and caught the travel bug at a young age.

I just moved to Chicago and am living the hipster dream in a lovely loft with a great group of people. I tend bar down the street. Before Chicago, I lived in St Paul for two years, working multiple jobs and exhausting myself. These days I'm allowing myself time to explore this city.

PHILOSOPHY

I just want to live life to the fullest while not taking it too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have taken advantage of some couches and would like to return the favor soon! In the meantime I'd like to help be a tour guide to surfers visiting Chicago.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My good friend is very involved in everything to do with couchsurfing. We used her contacts last spring for an awesome road trip and I thought it was about time for me to get more involved. I'd like to start hosting soon.
