Been living and working all over the place for the past couple years, but currently living back in my hometown of Chicago and working for the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Curious about language, culture, people, and history. Passionate about sustainability, equity, global/public health, and global affairs.

I love couchsurfing and hosting couchsurfers, but my roommate is not on board. Hope to host again soon! In the meantime, happy to show you some Chicago highlights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel in a more authentic way. To make friends in every corner of the world. To learn a city's secrets not listed in guidebooks. To share experiences, stories, and drinks.

Interests

Running halves and marathons. Reading from my hammock. Eating my way through cities. Traveling without an itinerary. Writing letters. Being on the water. Exercising my green thumb. Finding elevation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversation and very average story telling. I'll always clean up after myself if I'm staying with you. I'll bring home a pack of beer or help you cook - whatever you need!
