About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet people who love to travel just as much as I do, and show them how we do in the Chi!!!!

ABOUT ME

I am 24 years old. I love to travel, but unfortunately, I haven't been anywhere since Seattle in February. So, I've been itching for a vacation. Previously, I traveled the US on a mobile marketing tour for 14 weeks, which was awesome! I then headed to Australia and New Zealand for a two month vacay! It was amazing! I have also visited Hong Kong, Singapore, Frankfurt-Germany, Vancouver, and Anchorage-Alaska! For my next trip, I am hoping for a six month trip to Central/South America. Hopefully I will be able to accomplich that soon!

I currently work in event/promotional marketing and I work at Kingston Mines, which is the most famous and awesome blues club in Chicago. It's pretty much a must see when visiting Chicago!

I love hiking, traveling, and pretty much anything adventurous. Unfortunately, all my friends are boring so I don't get to so fun things as often as I'd like. For example, three weeks ago, I went sky diving by myself because none of my friends wanted to go! What a boring existance.

All in all, I'm fun; I like to laugh; and I like to go out and drink a few brews!

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling is one of the most important things to me. I think that it is so sad that so many Americans don't travel. Travel just gives you a better understanding and appreciation for the rest of the world.

Also, I have always believed that there is nothing in life that is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way that you take it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to participate in CS to help out other people who have the travel bug...Hotels can get expensive, and I think that traveling is one of the most important things in the world. So, if I could help someone with the same views, why the hell not?!

Teach, Learn, Share

I always like to learn new things, and I am willing to listen to others in order to do this. I hope that there are things that I can teach others in order to help them become better or more understanding people.
