I’m a university graduate from the US now working as a management consultant. I enjoy taking photos, competing in triathlons, and spending time with my closest friends.

My next trip is a quick ~1-week trip to Stockholm in early September, when I'll be running the Stockholm half marathon and attempting to check off all the Stockholm bucket list items that I've failed to do in my last 7 visits to the city over the last 6 years.

I hope I can meet someone that will convince me to quit my corporate America job and can help me reconnect with the more important things in my silly little life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Throughout all of my travels, my best experiences have been when I’ve stayed with or met locals— they’ve helped me to truly experience their culture in the most authentic ways possible. Some of my best traveling memories include enjoying sauna and ice water swimming on the western coast of Finland, enjoying "kötbullar" and a "fika" in the Swedish countryside, and dancing at Berlin's exhilarating techno clubs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Was on a dating show on my birthday this year (I was the first to get kicked off)
- Booked a flight from Chicago to London for $132.99
- Gone clubbing for several days straight in Berlin and Paris
- ...and got kicked out of a club in copenhagen for falling asleep
- lost my passport during my layover on my way to New Zealand for a triathlon (amazing how stupid of a mistake it was)

Teach, Learn, Share
