ABOUT

Hello, I'm Anthony.
I eventually want to be a speech-language pathologist but I need to go to graduate school first, so in the mean time I am working, saving money, and hosting couchsurfers! It's fun to meet people from all over the world and hear their stories. Thanks to Couchsurfing I've been introduced to everything from foreign beer to tasty new food, and I look forward to new discoveries and friendships.

I am new to Andong! I will be happy to share what I have learned about this city so far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In my opinion, there is no better way of meeting authentic, interesting people.

Interests

First of all, and most importantly, I really enjoy eating. I am a big fan of Bourdain and Zimmern, and agree with them that one of the best ways to experience different cultures is by eating their food. That being said, I could point out the best places to eat in Chicago. I also enjoy road trips, travel, beer, film and meeting individuals from different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a genuine interest in the lives of fellow travelers. What brings you to Chicago? What are your interests? If I am being hosted, then I guess I can teach you English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I have anything worth sharing, like candy or drinks, then I definitely will. If I don't, then I'll be happy to share some stories/conversation.
