I'm a theater professional from Chicago ready for adventure.

Tell me where all the vegetarian spots are! Let's ride bikes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Guidebooks are lame. Meeting people to show you around a new place is the best way to travel.

Traveling isn't about seeing things as much as it is about meeting people. You can't experience a place just by taking pictures.

CS rocks. I used it to get around Spain, Ireland, and the UK while I studied abroad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once rode my bicycle on the surface of the sun.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't be afraid to travel somewhere if you don't know the language. People are people and people are wonderful. Just have the patience to look and sound a little silly at times.
