About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have a year in Madrid before I go back to Chicago, and I just want to experience all that this side of the world and its beautiful people have to offer.

ABOUT ME

I am a law student in Chicago. I am spending the year abroad in Madrid to continue my JD studies and pursue a master's. While I'm out here I want to do as much traveling as possible and meet as many people as I can. I am open to anything and everything. You can never learn too much! I am social and outgoing, while also very polite and respectful. I love sports, I love to cook, I love music of all kinds, I love to talk, I love to listen. Hope to meet you soon!

PHILOSOPHY

There's three things in this world that you need: Respect for all kinds of life, a nice bowel movement on a regular basis, and a navy blazer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I guess I participate by crashing on your couch? Haha I don't know how to answer this query, but I'm down to participate- whatever that means.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies- a ton, but I have a soft spot for the Lion King. Music- all kinds, I have several terabytes of music and a dece vinyl collection coming. Books- Richard Yates, Chinua Achebe, Ralph Ellison, Stephen King, and a lot of boring esoteric nonfiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran with the bulls in Pamplona!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about politics and international affairs, US law, and general knowledge of comparative law. I'm also a fitness enthusiast, and I have a deep appreciation for music and movies. I would love to learn about European history and culture, as well as pick up a few languages while I'm out here.
