CURRENT MISSION

Bringing dignity back to the US, one person at a time!

ABOUT ME

I love gardening, making salsa and drinking all types of good beer, not bad beer, only good beer. I am a member of the Chicago Beer Society and participate in many wonderful events around the city. My other fascinations range from environmental issues to urban planning and sports action. I have a passion for intense conversations about culture, life, love or maybe even your opinion on fair trade coffee and cooperative farming or your view on foreign policy. I love to learn from those around me. I love this art galley in chicago called Three Peas. www.threepeasartlounge.com check it out!

At this time, I am taking a detour for five months to Minnesota to live with my family. If you happen to cross through this beautiful state, give me a shout!

Well, hopefully, we'll have a little time to walk the town and check out some hot spots. Welcome to my home.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what we make of it. I prefer to think positive things outweigh the negative and everyday brings something new, every person has a story to tell and flowers should be picked and given to friends!

an interesting quote: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little thing that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I attempt to attend city wide functions, be active in an incredible organization and network of people, and be true to the concept of couch surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I consider myself slighly experienced in international travel: finished my first European tour, Asia, SE Asia. I really want to travel South America.

Rica or Latin America?

Interests

Chicago is an amazing for partying, being social, museums, concerts, shows, restaurants, coffee houses, clubs... the list goes on. I try to go to new venues or special events; not to mention, I love being outside around Lake Michigan, biking, roller blading, running, flying kites.
