I am a vegan and gluten free pastry chef. I also work at an independently owned natural pet food store. I love animals. I like trying new things and visiting new places. Hobbyist photographer, nature and architecture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new people when I am traveling and see what the community is like.
I'm also always looking to meet other vegans, activists, and people who like adventure. I'm in the Chicago 'burbs, but can travel to Chicago to meet up, have dinner, go to an event, or go exploring.
