CURRENT MISSION

Taking in anything and everything to expand my horizons...

ABOUT ME

I'm a Chicagoan through and through. I grew up nearby, went away to school for a few years, and came back to get a job and start living my life! I truly believe Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the world and around these parts I usually spend my time running races, cycling with Half Acre Cycling Team, scoping out great restaurants and music in the city, and spending as much time as I can outside. I love meeting new people, as everyone is interesting in his/her own way. The more people you meet the more you learn, and the more you learn the more fulfilling life you'll lead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't had much time to participate in CS, but I'm more than willing after having been taken in by others as a guest through Help Exchange. I've stay with couch hosts in Colorado Springs, CO and St. George Utah. Both great experiences and I'd love to pay the favor back and show some surfers around Chi-town.
