Hello!

I have recently graduated from Columbia College in Chicago with a degree in American Sign Language Interpretation and work as a Freelance Sign Language Interpreter in the Chicagoland area!

I feel like the moment I graduated from college I was bit by the Travel bug! I traveled to my first country January of 2015 and I never looked back! August of 2015 I backpacked through Europe with two friends for a month and since then I have been travelling around the United States to as many states as possible!

What I love about traveling is being able to visit a place that I've heard about and seeing it for myself. Seeing a city, eating the local food, seeing people go about their day and trying to experience what they do and understanding their way of life ... THAT is what get's me hooked. I hope I never stop my love of travel and am able to see all that this big world has to offer.

Feel free to contact me if you need any more information!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard such amazing thing about Couchsurfing and the people who are involved with this community.

I feel that as a new traveler what better way to get to know a city than by seeing it through the eyes of the people who live there?

I am hoping to meet new people, experience new things, and see and experience all that I can in each city!

Interests

I feel that I have an eclectic range of interests but I love reading a really good book or watching a movie, but I LOVE to dance and karaoke - doesn't necessarily make me a good one but who cares right? :)

Trying different foods and drinks are things that I LOVE to do! Being from Chicago, we have many cuisines and cultures but it's nice to experience it in person!

I am also interested in the History of a city - my favorite thing is to look at architecture and seeing all the beautiful buildings!
