CURRENT MISSION

Save the world, one wind turbine at a time

ABOUT ME

Been in Chicago for 3+ years now. I travel about 25% for work but am usually back in town for weekends unless I'm international. I do a lot of personal travel as well (I get almost 5wks of vacation... don't be jealous). So I'm not always in town, but would love to start hosting more often.

I took 2 years off to travel around the world and had the time of my life. The countries list below is horribly out of date, and I'm so far behind, no sense in updating it now. I'd love to make new friends in countries that I have never been to!

PHILOSOPHY

I feel my purpose on this earth is for me to enjoy that time that is given to me on this great planet. I think people should travel a lot more.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only hosted 1 or 2 people, but would like to start hosting more.
