I live in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago with my husband Patrick. I love to travel, and it's fun to be back on CS after many years away!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had some great CS hosts in Europe and always enjoyed the meet-ups when I was traveling alone!

兴趣

I am very active, love to run and bike, cook interesting food for friends and family, and curl up with a book. My apartment is FULL of plants, and though I still love to travel and have adventures, I love my cosy home! I'm a writer and have a small freelance business, see sophievodvarka.com for more about me. :)

音乐、电影和书籍

Wednesday night at the Green Mill for Gypsy Jazz is a favorite in terms of local Chicago music. I read a lot and lately can't get enough of Louise Penney's mystery series. Other faves include: Huraki Murakami, Kurt Vonnegut, Chris Hedges, Mary Oliver, Sue Monk Kidd, and many other authors.
