Currently living in Chicago to establish my American roots. I grew up abroad and come from a big family that is all spread out over the globe.
I enjoy volunteering at my local community gardens and biking along the lake and weekend camping trips.
Also a beginner beekeeper taking care of two hives this year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After my old roommate shipped out with the Peace Corps I had a few weeks with a spare room. I remember a friend of mine mentioning this Couchsurfing once and decided to give it a try. Had a wonderful experience hosting a handful of people. Now I’ve got a new roommate and hopefully soon we’ll have a couch!
