CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, travel, meet people to share cultures, learn languages, and observe the world as it stands.

ABOUT ME

Sporty, healthy, foodie. I enjoy dancing, singing, and playing guitar. Interested in what is really going on in the world but feel like the media has not been doing a good job explaining this to the people. I don't mind when people tell me how they really feel. I am environmentally conscious and I care about where my food comes from.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to enjoy life before you are unable to. Time is the most precious variable. Try to appreciate what you have and not want for much more. Relax. When all else fails, think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Opened my home to guests before my GF and I began our travels in Europe. Occasionally need a free couch to sleep on during our trip. Will open our home again after deciding where to finally settle down. :) I'll have a place until October of 2016 in the streeterville neighborhood of Chicago, pretty close to Navy Pier.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best is when people share some great food and stories together. This is what brings people closer together in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surfing in Hawaii and living in a tree house. Travel Europe for a year with my girlfriend. Not follow directions. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to make things more efficient. I try to pick up clever ideas and incorporate them into my life. Love to share food. Would love to entertain others with invigorating ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking. Exercise? Ideas unbounded by social norms. Physics and engineering (if that doesn't bore you).
