CURRENT MISSION: Find out what's going on down under.

ABOUT ME: Salut, fellow surfers! Born and raised in the Buffalo area of New York State, I got my bachelor's degree in NYC and studied in France, Ireland and Montreal along the way. I currently reside in on the third coast (Chicago) and I absolutely LOVE living here. I'm open to hosting in Chicago, so long as you and my roommate get along. He's a foster cat named Meatloaf so -- barring allergies -- pretty much everyone loves him. :)

I got back on Couchsurfing because I'll be traveling to Australia in mid-November for a wedding and staying for a month -- and I currently have NO plans! I'll be traveling with my best friend, and so may inquire about accommodating both of us, but I'd also like to have some solo adventure time and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY: If it looks like cheese and smells like cheese, it might be cheese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING: Surfing, meeting new people, learning new languages, being ready and willing to try any food any place any time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I touched Gwen Stefani's derrière once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a connoisseur of public transportation, and love finding my way around new and big cities.

I also Irish danced for twelve years, and I'm happy to bust out those skills after a pint. Or five. More like five.
