I'm a freelance writer and editor from Chicago who traveled the world for 5 years in his mid-20s and am now back in Chicago for a while, before heading off on my next adventure. Keyed into the music and social scene of Chicago (and plenty of other places) and am always down for great conversationalists who enjoy riffing on the state of the world, unknown wonders, space (outer/inner), time, books, music, authors.... 3 tattoos, 2 cats and 1 dog.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel quite a bit, as my job allows me to work from anywhere at any time, and I am my own boss. Therefore, jumping cities for weekends and wild adventures is something that I am particularly fond of. Making new friends in those cities and expanding the network of good souls in the world is a nice bonus, which I hope this platform can help.
