I enjoy traveling, as most on here do. I have ventured to some European countries, have studied abroad in Russia and New Zealand, and have spent a couple of summers in Germany with my grandparents. I have a degree in business management and have been working in banking for two years. I like to spend my weekends either hiking around state parks with my dog or up in Chicago with friends (and sometimes my dog).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I'm working full time, I can only travel for one week stints spread across the year. I would like to open my home to those (local or people passing through) looking to share adventures and stories and a home-cooked meal.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music (no really, country, rock, rap, dance, you name it!)
I really enjoy motivational books (Disrupt You! is great) and books that develop the way you think.
Movies... I prefer standup comedy

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a guitar if you're keen to play!

One of my favorite things to do is cook with and for other people, lets share recipes!
