Nomad at the moment! Trying to make it here in CA... deciding if I should live out of car while paying down these graduate loans, haha. Advice is welcome.
Chicago native new to LA, show me what’s good!! Gypsy soul~an explorer craving new experiences...tend to say yes to going almost anywhere safe & interesting without knowing too many details & make the most of it.

Nature & music are my homies😜 I’m goofy, yet deep. I’m independent and enjoy socializing with down 2 Earth peeps. I’m a serious animal lover and don’t eat land animals 😆 but I don’t judge others for their lifestyle choices. . I’ll try anything in the name of health.

PHILOSOPHY
*we were born to be real, not perfect
*life is too short to waste it complaining... if you aren't happy: accept what you're unable to change, change what you can & never let society kill your truth ~me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel more assimilated into a culture when with folks who know the surroundings better than I. I like to know the must see spots and that may or may not be touristy, facts/ history & where to be cautious as well... I've slept on many couches in my day and enjoy showing friends around Chicago when they visit <3

Interests

Nature, music & dancing make me feel alive! I LOVE animals & playing games that make me think or laugh....

I am co-founder of SIU's Women's Ultimate Frisbee club, a former competitive cheerleader and a forever Chicago sports fan!
