Hello everyone
I'll just start by saying I'm a pretty simple guy. Meat and sarcasm is all I need. However, I've been bit by a traveling bug and it was the size of an African mosquito, which injected me with the desire to explore the many wonders of the world.
Chicago has been my home for the past 5 years. The weather is quite schizophrenic, but hey I love crazy.
Here's a quote that paints a pretty picture of me... "There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living."
Anyway, I'm just a nice dude with some nice dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I've developed such a huge appetite for travel and learning about the world, and I think the best way to learn about other countries/cultures, is by mingling with the locals.

Interests

Some of my favorite things to do in the Chicago is to attend comedy shows, go to sporting events(Chicago has 5 major sports teams), attend festivals, partake in whiskey/beer tastings, and a whole heap of other things, but I can't do them all...I'm just one man damn it.
Some of my other interest are:
Fitness, Boxing, Soccer, Basketball, Football, Traveling(Duh!), Real Estate Investing, Personal Development, Bruce Lee, and Bob Marley

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kinds of music. Typically if it has nice beat, I'll probably like it.
Bob Marley, Miguel, and Kendrick Lamar are my favorite artists.
I'm a movie buff, so I have a ton of favs, but Avatar is pretty high on the list.
I haven't read a lot of books, but I do listen to audio self help books - "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"
