Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A few years ago, I made the decision to visit at least one new country every year. Thus far, I've been doing pretty well. One of my favorite parts of traveling has always been the interesting people you meet along the way. Couchsurfing seems like a way to continue that process, both at home and away.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couch surfing! I'm traveling more than ever before, and hoping to meet new folks and form reciprocal hosting relationships.

Interests

Hi there, I'm Reid. I've lived in Chicago for around 3 years at this point. I'm currently a graduate student at UIC, studying microbiology. I'm working on both my MD and my PhD so I'll be in school basically forever. Outside of work, I love exploring the Chicago music and food scene, trying new beers, cooking and finding new activities to enjoy in Chicago.
