CURRENT MISSION

Learning, meeting,experiencing, and seeing the world through open eyes.

ABOUT ME

I have a love affair with the world. I want to know...everything. I love traveling. I like to watch terrible movies. I like to read. I also like being busy and helping people love Chicago as much as us Chicagoans do.

PHILOSOPHY

I like feeling epic, and finding places to feel epic at. If that makes no sense, I'll just have to show you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet anyone who comes to our fair city. I would love to get together and have a mind-meld or two. I'd love to show you how delightful the midwest can be--and show you our excellent bar selection.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had an amazing experience with couchsurfing! People opening up their arms and releasing all the suspicion the world we're born into instills in us.

Interests

Work is sort of my life. But guess what? I work for the airlines and therefore get to make traveling my life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hampstead Heath. This was the most gorgeous place I went to in London...other than Greenwich Park and seeing the Prime Meridian line. I lived in London while studying abroad for three months.

Or when I traveled through a protected rainforest area for the first time. Eco Via in Parana in Brazil was breathtaking.
