I’m someone who finds energy in movement—whether that’s exploring a new city on foot, diving into its history and culture, or breaking a sweat on the tennis court.

Travel has taken me to some fascinating places recently: wandering through Albania’s capital city and mountain towns, exploring Belgrade’s communist past, navigating the medinas of Morocco, and cycling through Copenhagen’s remarkably bike-friendly streets.

Each place taught me something new about how people live, what they value, and how history shapes the present.

When I’m home, you’ll find me at the gym or on the tennis courts. I’m a bit obsessed with tennis, actually—I love playing, but I also travel around the country catching professional tournaments whenever I can. There’s something electric about watching world-class athletes compete in person.

Looking forward to meeting people who share this curiosity about the world and exchanging stories along the way.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet others who are visiting Chicago . I'm happy to meet up whether for coffee or a meal, or to explore Chicago. I've lived in the Chicago-area my entire life and near the downtown area since 2008.
