About Me

CURRENT MISSION

oversaturation

ABOUT ME

Chicago native, dying to get away from the Midwest plains region. I'm into everything relating to the outdoors. I want to delve into different cultures and experience something outside of what is familiar.

PHILOSOPHY

"Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Backpacked through Europe and couchsurfed along the way, I was touched by the kindness and empathy expressed by strangers throughout the entire journey.
