CURRENT MISSION

slowly learning german and i hope to see what german speaking countries have to offer!

ABOUT ME

I work in the Commercial TV industry in Chicago mainly, I also do graphic design. Both are freelance. i like to cook, and make just enough money to have a happy balance of a stable living situation, but still have freedom to just get up in travel whenever you want - in other words, a full time job is not for me!

PHILOSOPHY

I love seeing new places and meeting new people. I enjoy helping people out- and I have traveled a lot so I know what it means to have a floor to sleep on in a foreign place when you aren't trying to spend a lot of money. I think when visiting a new place, a local perspective and contact can really be invaluable.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have only used couchsurfing a handfun of times, but eachtime it has been amazing. Whether it was just a floor to sleep on or a separate room with a key, I have always been amazed and grateful for the community. I have hosted also only a few times, but have been traveling for the last 3 months and when I return to Chicago, I look forward to opening up my house to travelers more often.

Интересы

I like to explore, shoot photos and come up with crazy ideas. I like to check out coffee shops, and go to galleries, as well as spend time in parks and markets.

Музыка, кино и книги

scary movies are fun, but not gore. dramas are good. actions are terrible. i like foreign films, but really have to be in the mood. I like to read non-fiction books- things based in reality or informational books about nutrition and history.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

Depending on the season, you would either take a couch or twin bed in the living room or have a twin bed to sleep on in the back porch (during warmer weather)- there even are times when i'm out of town and you can have my room- You can cook in the kitchen and shower of course :)
