Chicago native that recently moved to Houston. I still have not surfed, only hosted.

CURRENT MISSION

Violently Happy

ABOUT ME

Fun.

PHILOSOPHY

Old is a state of mind...just as young is. I know too many people my age that use "I'm old" as an excuse. I HATE that, I feel so young. I see a lot of people use the "I'm old" excuse to let go of themselves or stop trying. I never want to give up or stop learning and living. Society is obsessed with "youth" but lets work to change that. I will also never look at someone's old photos and say "they were so handsome/pretty when they were young"...that's pretty damn offensive in my book. Beauty comes in every age!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have only hosted and LOVE showing people around Chicago. I have not had a bad experience and everyone I have met is cool. I am hoping to surf for the first time in NOLA May 2014.

Interests

MUSIC, concerts, shows, record stores, etc. Psychology major...rethinking that. Photography enthusiast. LOVE Chicago, born and raised...traveled for 5 years+. TRAVEL, amazing thing...love learning directly from locals and also non-locals in new/old cities. Museums, galleries. I tend to just hate being cooped up in the house.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Cure, Christina Aguilera, Fiona Apple, Amy Winehouse...those are my ALL-time top fave.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love going to concerts! Rock Werchter, an annual 3day camping music fest in Belgium, thats up there. But seeing Amy Winehouse play The Vic in 2007 was BEYOND! Luckily I also got to meet her, a photo-op, and chat briefly-LEGEND.
