I live in Chicago and love checking out new places around the world.

Most of my traveling is motivated by food- so any place I visit I have to try the local spots for food and drink; I think it's the best way to experience a new place.

Look forward to being a part of the community!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not fancy, so all the accommodations that come with a hotel are usually more than I need.

I also like to hear from locals, and don't like getting caught in tourist traps; this seems like a great way to hear from the source!

Interests

I like spicy food, local beers and spirits, and running.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much anything but country, but then again, country music concerts are a blast.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if I would call them amazing when compared to other people I meet, but, Canada, Alaska, and Vietnam are some of the most incredible places I've visited yet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good attitude and hopefully some funny stories. And maybe any questions about food. :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, England, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, Viet Nam
