I work to live, not live to work. Unfortunately that means I still have to work so I can have days off to travel. When I travel I enjoy going solo and connecting with locals and fellow travelers. A good conversation, a unique experience, a beer at a local bar, are all things I seek out when I'm out of my hometown of Chicago. Looking forward to my next adventure and making new friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm often traveling solo and enjoy meeting locals when I travel for a drink, a meal and a great conversation.
