I’m a college student studying computer science. I was born and raised just outside of Chicago, and I now go to school in the Chicago area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems like a great opportunity to get a closer glimpse of a place and it’s people. I had the opportunity to stay with a host family for a weekend in Taiwan and really enjoyed it. While Couchsurfing isn’t quite like staying with a host family, it does provide for a chance to meet someone new (and hopefully gain a new friend!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Knitted a five foot scarf for my mom

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m always open to helping people practice their English with me. I also know how to knit, so if we can find some yarn, I can teach you!

I really want to learn more languages and more about other cultures. I’m also open to hearing new perspectives and am pretty open to most topics of conversation.

We can share our experiences and stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experience as an American living in Chicago and spending this summer in Taiwan.

If you’re ever in Chicago, let me know! We can meet up or I can give you recommendations on what to do!
