Hi Everyone! I am an open-minded individual that has a strong passion for travelling and learning about foreign cultures. I love meeting new people and hearing the stories they share. I am originally from Chicago but live in DC now. Looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used Couchsurfing years ago when I was traveling abroad as a student (around 2008-2009) and I always appreciated the kind people that I met and hosted me! I am very happy to now return the favor and host guests of my own!
