I'm currently on a year-long trip around the world. I'm moving from country to country quite slowly, taking the time to get to know people, culture, history, language, art. Learning is my biggest priority, and I've learned everything from the Spanish language, to yoga, to my ability to endure uncomfortable situations, to how to make French croissants! I'm visiting as many tiny towns & big cities as possible. I'm traveling with camping/hiking gear, and I've enjoyed many nights in the wilderness of this beautiful Earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To allow me to meet more people, especially locals. Meeting locals is the most rewarding part of travel. A window into someone's day-to-day life is a fascinating treasure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook, some words in English/French/Spanish, how to sew, how to crochet, how to build things (almost anything!), yoga, how to meditate. I can share my life and my experiences with you - and I hope you share with me as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to show people around Chicago, and I have endless suggestions for fun things to do and cool things to see!
