About Me

Hey everyone, I'm visiting London on Dec 9-Dec 14th and then I'm heading over to Amersterdam Dec 14th-Dec 19th. This is my 2nd trip using Couchsurfing, the first bing last August in Montreal, Canada.

I'm traveling solo again and looking forward to exploring these new cities and meeting new people. This is my first venture into Europe so I'm pretty excited (and scared) at the same time.

I will definitely be hitting up museums, breweries, nice and casual restaurants and participating in any festivals that will be going on at the time. I'm very open to staying with Couchsurfers though it's not necessary as I already have hotel reservations during part of my trip. If another traveler(s) wants to share an AirBnB with me in Amersterdam, please let me know!

Overall I'm just a dude looking for a good time. Additionally I live in Chicago so anyone who ever takes me in can be assured the hospitality would be reciprocated if you ever decide to visit the Windy City. Hope to meet your acquaintance. Thanks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I've started traveling by myself, i thought it would be fun to meet up with others who are doing the same and share the same interests as me. I'm kind of a silly one, so be warned of my humor and dancing skills (or lack thereof).

Interests

Craft beer and wine
Sports
Comedy
Sight seeing
Working out/Running/Biking
Movies and TV shows
Learning French

Music, Movies, and Books

I like LCD Soundsystem, White Stripes, anything grungy, some country.

Movies are "Being John Malcovich" and "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"

Books: Currently reading "Watership Down" but my favorite is "The Grapes of Wrath"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For one day, I was a bodyguard for actor Tom Hanks and director Steven Spielberg.

I'd definitely buy a few drinks or food or even give at wherever we decide to go
