CURRENT MISSION

Today's Mission: Get out of bed. Tomorrow's Mission: Who Knows...

ABOUT ME

I'm a 35yr old social worker who currently lives on the north side of Chicago. I am an active and social person. My hobbies include playing softball, biking, and working out.

I am originally from Los Angeles, California, but I've also lived in:
Anchorage, AK
San Antonio, TX
Atlanta, GA
Biloxi, MS

I've traveled all over the U.S., and been to several countries in Europe, as well as Canada and Mexico.

To describe my personality I would say I'm easy going, considerate, direct, sarcastic, funny, intelligent, and a hard worker.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy: Why think it when you can say it?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Several years ago I went on a backpacking trip across Europe with a good friend. We stayed with couchsurfing hosts in each country and it was an amazing experience. I'd like to be able to contribute to someone else's adventure in a positive way if I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In order to refrain from hosting every single night due to so many wonderful people visiting Chicago all of the time, I can only host about once a month right now. That way I can maintain some balance in my life as well.

Interests

My interests tend to lean towards more active hobbies. I enjoy running, playing sports, and being silly and goofy with my friends.

• running
• working out
• cycling
• backpacking
• kayaking

Music, Movies, and Books

I like horror stories (Dean Koontz) and action movies. I like independent films and blockbusters. I enjoy dramas, comedies, romantic films, and an occasional documentary. I don't read as much as I would like to, but I'm working on it...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaking with sea lions and dolphins in the Anacapa Islands.

Countries I’ve Visited
