ABOUT ME

[NOTE: Couchsurfing seems to have deleted my history/references but I have Couchsurfed several times since joining in 2011!]

I grew up in Houston, TX, and went to New York City for college in 2005. After living in Manhattan and Brooklyn for nearly 11 years, I followed my dream of relocating to Chicago in May 2016. I enjoy traveling and running long distance races, and I especially love combining the two.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011 my sister randomly spotted a $200 RT flight from NYC to Barcelona. We didn't have any international travel plans on the horizon, but we jumped on it and spent two weeks backpacking in Spain, Ireland, and Italy. All thanks to Airfare Watchdog, which I have used to book all my international travel ever since!
