Présentation
À propos de moi
I love to learn and explore, I use couchsurfing to meet likeminded friends, and get to know people whose paths I never would have otherwise crossed. I want to learn about you, hear your stories and share experiences. I love art (and am happy to take Chicago-area visitors to museums if our schedules align), wine and good food. I try to find the hidden gems in every city I visit, and am happy to share those with other travelers.
Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” -- Mark Twain
Work has provided the opportunity to see places, but I want to experience them. If a lifelong friend or two is made in the process, even better. Let's sit down, have a drink. Tell me your stories, and I'll share mine.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue
I got to know an incredible family from Rusinga Island, Kenya who help the children in their village access food, clothing, and education. The world is harsh at times, but there are people like them who make it more beautiful. I was lucky to see it firsthand.

Have questions about travel or flying? I'm happy to help.
Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes
Three words: kitschy. Chicago. Souvenirs.
I'm also happy to cook a meal for you, buy a bottle of wine to share, or offer advice. The last part isn't a joke -- I'm good at listening and offering encouragement.
