About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do as much good in this world as I can and on an endless quest for the best BBQ in the world.

ABOUT ME

A globe trotting spy. When i'm home in Chicago my cover is a researcher at a University running a program that helps people with disabilities start their own businesses. I also love volunteering and engaging in cultural events around the city whenever the opportunity presents itself.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life fully and without regret. People and experiences are the most important things in life, the pursuit of money and possessions are just distractions from true happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Done it a couple of times and also met some people to just hang out in the city and hope to host my first surfer in my home soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done couch surfing twice so far in Quebec and Montreal and absolutely love it and hope to do it again soon.

Interests

Travel, playing golf terribly, telling people random facts about things even though they don't care, and BBQ & Whiskey.
