ABOUT ME
Hi! I've recently met some fantastic couchsurfers and gotten the travel bug. I live in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, right by the University of Chicago campus. I live in a coop-like apartment with seven other roommates who are all very kind and interesting, and hail from all over the world. I love playing soccer, going to see improv comedy shows, and talking on back porches. I'm an easygoing, playful, and curious person, and I can't wait to get to know you!
PHILOSOPHY
Oh boy. I try to live as if everything is a game, but that doesn't mean that nothing matters! Every day is an adventure! If you stay at my house I'm sure we could talk about this stuff for hours.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I haven't surfed yet, but I've had a great time helping my roommates host people, and I want to take the initiative to connect with surfers.
