CURRENT MISSION Connect to the world ABOUT ME I'm intrigued by cultures other than my own. I love people, food, languages, beautiful landscapes, art, architecture, music...did I mention food? I've been lucky to have been able to travel quite a bit in my life. I love to laugh and make others laugh and I really enjoy meeting new people in new places. PHILOSOPHY Don't worry, be happy

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I started on couchsurfing to host fellow travel-minded people and show them my gorgeous city: Chicago. It is beautiful, incredible, interesting, friendly, diverse, historic...it's everyone's favorite city!

Now I live abroad, so I'd like to understand other cultures better...experience even the most insignificant nuances of the people that inhabit places I've never been. It just makes me happy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly have hosted, which has been an incredibly rewarding experience!
