I'm a 29 year old male living in Chicago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been fortunate enough to do a lot of traveling in my lifetime. The experiences I have had have been amazing and the people that I shared them with made them even better. I'm hoping I can pay it forward and help some people see my city...

Additionally, I'm planning on spending some more time in Europe this year, so I think I'm going to try and couch surf.
