We want to pursue more challenging employment and be active members of our community to help others and enable it to be a better place to live.

We both believe in urban dwelling, leaving the car parked and utilizing our bikes, transit and walking where we're going. Living near the beach offers a great opportunity to briefly disconnect from the hustle and bustle and connect with nature. Dog people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want you to enjoy your time in Chicago, we're not expecting a meal, token or an all night conversation. You clearly chose to visit Chicago to see the city, the attractions, the culture. If we get to the other elements of couch surfing during your stay? Great, that's a bonus.

We have been unable to host for a little while now due to hectic schedules, though we would like to change that soon.

We were introduced to couch surfing through a friend who backpacked in Europe. Tried it out fall of 2012 and have had a blast ever since! Our hosting experience has been more lengthy than our surfing experience, though we anticipate changing that this summer with our trip to Europe.
