I'm a 30 year old American working in Chicago as an attorney. Big fan of all things cultural and learning more about each place I visit. I'm also a huge fan of showing of Chicago as I think it's the best city in the States so I'm always up for playing tour guide.

I don't get a lot of time off from my job but when I do I like to hang out with friends, watch movies, go to shows (contemporary or classical), try new foods, play music and talk movies/books to religion/politics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Heading to Spain for ten days before I start my new job in Chicago on the 18th of December. I heard good things about Couchsurfing from a friend so I thought I'd give this a try.
