Traveling is my life. I'm rarely ever at home because I'm out exploring the world. Currently serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Madagascar until December 2018, so I cannot host until I return. I enjoy hiking, camping, and anything outdoors. I'm really laid back and I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are so many beautiful, brilliant, and interesting people in this world and i want to have the pleasure of meeting as many of them as i can. I want to enrich my life by meeting others who will share new ideas and perspectives with me.

Anyone and everyone is welcome at my home, and I hope to become a temporary family member at yours.

I love to share travel stories, so I'm eager to hear about all the cool places you've been. I also enjoy talking about politics, and anything related to sports. I can also take you to all my favorite places in Chicago.
