I'm brand new to Couchsurfing, so apologies for the lack of references....feel free to find me on Facebook though :) I was born and raised in the Chicago area, went to Indiana University for undergrad, and moved to Los Angeles in 2013 looking for sunshine and palm trees. I start grad school in August, so I'm planning on doing as much traveling as I can until then. I'm starting with a road-trip from Los Angeles to Chicago in late February.
