I grew up in Chicago and have lived there for the first 22 years of my life. I briefly have lived in Sweden playing in the second division for football. My current team is Linkoping FK and I hope to move back to the US after this season to play back in the States. I studied Economics in university with a concentration in development economics. I love the outdoors and meeting people who have lived in many different places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting people who live in the cultures I am visiting. I think when you stay in hotels it can be easy to miss what is truly special about a community, and by staying with locals you can briefly live in that culture.
