Welcome to my profile! I recently graduated from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, where I was a double major in Accountancy and Marketing and a minor in Digital Cinema (AKA Film). I currently live in Los Angeles, California. I'm an avid concertgoer—I go to around 40 concerts each year—and I work in the music industry in LA. I love music, traveling, and meeting new people! I eat a lot of pasta, so I'm big on Italian food, and I have a major sweet tooth.

When I travel, I always try to chat with locals to learn about their perspectives and what it's like to live there. I think that's an important part of traveling that should not be overlooked. I'm a positive, optimistic person and a clean, respectful guest. I am a firm believer in the golden rule: treat others as you wish to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard great things about the Couchsurfing community from friends and people I met abroad, so I thought I'd give it a try! I'm so glad I did—everyone I met so far has been wonderful, and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to spend some time with them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love many different kinds of music, from Fall Out Boy to The Turtles to Eminem to Jon McLaughlin. Punk rock is my favorite, and lately I've been listening to a lot of Panic! At the Disco, The Matches, and Franz Ferdinand. I'm a big supporter of local music, and I'm always up for new recommendations!
