I live alone (with a cat) in the South Loop of Chicago, IL. I have a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo close to a lot of downtown Chicago attractions and close to a number or train lines. I work a typical M-F schedule and like to go out and explore new places on the weekends.

My place is not very "child friendly", as I have a full bar, metal and glass furniture and no type of child-proofing. Plus Leo isn't a fan of small humans. I prefer not to host any children under 16 y/o.

I get a lot of requests, especially during the spring/summer months. Please understand if I cannot host.

FYI - I rarely host for a single night, or people that just need a place to crash before catching a flight or train.

If you plan on visiting a lot of museums or do some tours of Chicago, you should get one of these: http://www.smartdestinations.com/chicago-attractions-and-tours/_d_Chi-p1.html?pass=Chi_Prod_Exp&allInc=true

You can usually find discounts for them on www.livingsocial.com as well as other tours and events.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know how expensive it can be to travel and would like to help out if possible. Money shouldn't keep people from exploring new places and seeing the world.
