Midwest native that lived on the west coast for the last seven years before coming back to the Chicago area. I enjoy just about all things active and outdoors. I like cooking and trying to make new things almost as much as I love eating them. Moving to China in February, but trying to enjoy myself and hang out some cool people here until then!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet knew people with a different background than my own and have some random conversations about our experiences. Everybody on here has a good story to tell. The people I've met through couchsurfing so far have been friendly and awesome so I look forward to meeting more and more of the community.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've worked in the wine industry for a few years so that's something I love talking about and trying. I can teach you how to pick locks, saber a champagne bottle, or preach why rugby is the best sport there is.
