CURRENT MISSION

Making friends in every city I visit, I want to have a world wide network of friends.

ABOUT ME

Sociable, World Traveler, University of Illinois Alum.

PHILOSOPHY

As cheesy as "Life, Laugh, Love" is, it's still pretty good advice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed and met many amazing people through this website. I believe in this day in age, travelers are too focused on their cell phones and posting photos of their "local cuisine" on instagram. Instead I prefer to say "hello" (or the equivalent local language) to a stranger, get out of my comfort zone, and hopefully make a new friend.
