I'm a gregarious 30 year old life long Chicagoan that is constantly looking for the next thing to do. I travel a lot and have made many friends here and abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and I hate paying full price for lodging. I also sleep on a couch half the time when I'm at home.
