ABOUT ME

I'm James, 27, originally from the Boston area. I recently graduated from Wake Forest University in North Carolina, and currently live in Chicago where I price airline tickets for United Airlines. While I love Chicago, I'm definitely a New England boy at heart! I don't just love to travel, I live for it! Must say that every dollar I can save goes straight to traveling. Hope to meet some CS'ers soon whether it be at your couch or mine!

PHILOSOPHY

You have no idea how far a simple smile can get you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Rather new to this, but I've had some great experiences with hosts in Europe, Asia, and America! I've also been able to convince a few friends to try it. Just hosted my first CSer (Iain) in July '10.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was hosted by 2 great guys in London a few years back - really got the ball rolling with CS! I've met up with CS'ers for drinks in different cities.. and even "surfed" right here in Chicago!

Interests

TRAVELING. I've now been to all six (inhabited) continents... new mission: all 50 states. I'm at 43! Still have to see MT, NM, ND, MN, KY, MS, AK.
