CURRENT MISSION

Finding out how and why culture happens

ABOUT ME

The way the world works amazes me and I really want to figure it out. I enjoy living in Chicago, but I enjoy traveling just as much, although I'm a novice. I enjoy a wide spectrum of things in life from something as small as taking a walk on a perfect fall day to something as large as living in a foreign country and exploring it for awhile.

PHILOSOPHY

To see as much as I can and to explore as many different cultures as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
