I’ve been living in Chicago for well over a decade now. Long time restaurant manager, recently converted to data analyst. I enjoy food adventures, programming and working with data, live music, street festivals, and Chicago Summers!

I like to be active so if the sun is shining, Im probably outside. I’m often running/biking along the lake, playing beach volleyball, or soccer. During the winter, it can get pretty chilly and windy, but I think it’s a great time for slow cooking and experimenting with new recipes at home. But in reality, it’s Chicago, there’s always so much to do!

It’s just me and my cat Evie so if you need a place to crash, shoot me a message! My place isn’t luxury 5 stars, but I have an extra place to sleep and a roof over my head. All I ask is for good communication, clean up after yourself, and be extra nice to Evie😺.

“Life is short but sweet for certain.”
“Not all who wander are lost.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to have more opportunities to see the world, meet new people, share stories, and try all the food!
