Chicago transplant living in the Bay Area and working as an editor for a travel guide publisher. Set on seeing as much of the world as possible.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I love the idea of connecting with locals to get a fuller experience of the places I'm visiting, and to get the inside scoop on where to go, what to see/eat/do, etc.
