Hi, I’m a Chicago-based adventurer with a love for community, culture, and conversation. By day, I work in affordable housing—helping build homes and, hopefully, a bit of hope for those who need it. By night (or whenever the opportunity strikes), you can find me riding my bike through the city, catching a match from my beloved Tottenham Hotspur, or sipping a thoughtfully poured drink while debating the finer points of dark humor and sci-fi classics. (Yes, I’ve watched Black Mirror more times than I should admit.)

I’m on a lifelong quest to connect with people from all corners of the globe—because who doesn’t want to swap stories, share laughs, and learn a thing or two along the way? Currently, I’m trying to master Spanish (progress: not bad, but don’t ask me to conjugate verbs after two cervezas).

Soccer is my universal language, and I’ll happily chat with anyone about the thrill of a perfect pass or the heartbreak of an own goal. If you know a good cycling route, I’m in. If you’ve got recommendations for a bar with local charm, I’ll meet you there. If you want to talk philosophy or just argue why Blade Runner is (or isn’t) the greatest sci-fi movie ever, I’ll pull up a chair.

Let’s meet, explore, and make the world feel just a little bit smaller—one city, one drink, and one laugh at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here because the best part of traveling isn’t the landmarks or the Instagram shots—it’s the people. I’ve always believed that a great conversation over a shared meal or a spontaneous adventure with a local can teach you more about a place than any guidebook ever could. Couchsurfing is a chance to break through the surface-level tourist experience and truly immerse myself in the world of others.

As someone who thrives on connection (and probably asks too many questions for my own good), I love the idea of swapping stories, exchanging perspectives, and creating memories with people who share the same curiosity about life. Whether it’s debating soccer rivalries (please tell me your favorite team!) or laughing over cultural differences while I try not to butcher your language, I find these moments are what make a trip unforgettable.

At its core, Couchsurfing feels like a team effort—a global network of people saying, “Let’s make the world friendlier, one couch at a time.” I’m here for that, and I hope to return the favor whenever you find yourself in Chicago. If you’re game for grabbing a drink, cycling around, or even arguing over whether sci-fi can actually predict the future (spoiler: it can), then let’s make it happen.
