CURRENT MISSION

Currently living and learning more about myself in the beautiful city of Chicago. Work crazy hours, so I'm on a mission to find a good balance, stay sane and fit, travel as much as possible, and at some point figure out where my life is headed. I want CS to be a part of that.

ABOUT ME

All over the place. Sometimes serious and pensive. Other times joyous and loud. Can dance all night or stay reading at the couch, go clubbing or go to an exhibit. Run a marathon or stay in bed all day. One constant is food...I love cooking and I love eating.

Adventurous. Lover. Activist. QPOC.

PHILOSOPHY

"The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out, eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences." - Eleanore Roosevelt

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The CS Project, to some extent, helps me maintain my faith in humanity. For this reason, I try to be both a great host and a surfer, being involved, exchanging experiences, being thoughtful, etc. So that both parties are happy and continue to use CS.

Moreover, I like opening the CS doors for other people by promoting the website and the great experiences so that the CS community continues to grow.

After a long hiatus in the CS project, I'm back, and willing to host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of my couchsurfing experiences have been truly unique, incredible, and memorable. Want to pass the torch.
