I'm an East Coast kid stomping around the Midwest. I love the open feeling of living by the water.
I manage a fine dining restaurant, and I love my job. I also write poetry and read as much as I can.
In this house, we ride bicycles, listen to hip hop, drink good whiskey, and cook local food whenever we can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to use this for my own travel one day. I also like meeting new people and sharing good books and recipes.
