1st generation American, born and raised in Atlanta, Ga. Did my undergraduate at Penn and moved to Chicago in Jun '13 for a as a trader. I love to travel but my job doesn't really allow me to take many extended vacations (most of my PTO was used to take odd Friday's and Monday's off), so I've decided to spend the next year or so trying to explore the United States. I am an aspiring comedian and intermediate saxophone player.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see all the different areas of the US. I've explored much of the south, and went to school in Philly, but haven't seen much else. I studied abroad in Australia when I was in college, and the best week of my life was when, on a whim I road tripping through the southern island of New Zealand with 4 friends that i'd met a couple of months before. we camped in tents on the side of the road for most of the times and stayed at the occasional camp site. I prefer staying in a hostel or a home to any hotel and hope to meet people whose lives are different from mine, and learn from them
