I'm a twenty-somethng studying computer science in Chicago. In my free time, I sell vintage clothes, try new restaurants, listen to music, and go out. I love meeting new people, listening to their stories of traveling, and their culture.

I've always had dreams of traveling, but I've been putting it off until this or that happens. I've listened to friends and families stories of their adventures and finally, I'm taking a small leap and backpacking Europe for a few months. After that - Iceland or SE Asia or Cartagena.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be in Europe this winter and Couchsurfing will give me the opportunity to meet locals. From what I've heard about Couchsurfing, it's a place for open minded individuals that want to help each other learn about the world.
