CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what I want to do when I grow up

ABOUT ME

Hi! I live in the city of Chicago. I'm selling my car so I can walk everywhere, trying out every restaurant, fair, museum, and show in the city, and meeting a few new people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Nothing yet; I'm new!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None! Once I have my own place (and a couch), I'll turn the neon sign to "open".

Interests

Well, I have ADD, so my interests change about every five minutes or so. But most of the time: I enjoy reading, playing horn, tinkering around on the piano, starting to learn to cook, yoga, playing tennis, volleyball, basketball, walking, talking to good people, being overly outgoing, the first winter snow, appreciating the arts, pitching in for my alma matter, filling out lists of my interests. . .

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - almost anything. I tend to not know lyrics or bands, but I can always tell you if I enjoy what's on! Movies - ones that are well acted, tell a good story, or are really, really funny. Books - For the past year it's been mostly business literature. I'd almost say I'm an expert. On the fiction side, I enjoy the classics like Chaucer and Shakespeare, to some of the finer current works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For me it's the little things. I'm not often impressed by actions or objects unless they're so overwhelmingly impressive that you can't help but be, well, overwhelmed. I'm more impressed by a kind word, a genuine smile, a good deed. Finding that moment in time that seems to stand still because it's so perfect.

Teach, Learn, Share

You know what? I know a little bit about a lot of subjects, but I'm probably not wise enough in any of them to give me license to teach. Well, alright. Marketing I'm quite good. Writing I get paid to do, so I suppose we'll list that as well. I've played French Horn for awhile, but I'm really just an enthusiastic amatuer. How's that?
