Chicago has been good to me since I moved here in May. I'm a really crappy texter, but an awesome conversationalist in person/on the phone. Talk to me about hiking, efficiency, politics, tv, music, you name it. Plus I love doing tourist-y things and local-y things, so if you're ever looking for company for an event, I'll join you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like many on here, my dream is to see the world. Plus, I want to meet locals where I travel and really live like one--well, as much as I can while being there temporarily.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Grey's Anatomy, Brooklyn 99, Silicon Valley, Bojack Horseman, and a bunch of other shows. Not a big movie person, but will watch with friends. As far as books, I read a wide variety.
