ABOUT ME

Hey everyone! I will just say that I am a very open person and love meeting new people! I don't take myself too seriously and am very Type B and easy-going. Ciao!

PHILOSOPHY

Haven't really figured that one out yet. I'll throw a couple of ideas at you when you visit me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurf everywhere I travel, and have hosted weary travelers from all over the world in my humble Chicago abode with my roomie and kitty.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had beds, couches, and floors, and very few (in fact, all but one) have been negative. You never know what will end up happening, who you will meet, and what you will do. I recommend CouchSurfing to everyone I meet.

Interests

Photography, art, literature, throwing caution to the wind, music, geography, laughing at stupid and pointless things, eating, cute baby animals, discussing educational policy, learning phrases in new languages, and new experiences in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a mountain in the Balkan ranges of Croatia, went skiing in the French Alps, hot tubbed in an ancient Hungarian natural spring bath, tasted every sight and sound of my favorite city forever, Paris.

Teach, Learn, Share

A couple pointers:

Always read references when seeking a couch! This can make all the difference in the world when choosing a host or a guest. Please include the phrase "beards are sexy" somewhere in your couch request so I know that you completely read my profile...
