I'm 29, and awesome! I currently live in Chicago, IL, but have lived in Virginia and Pennsylvania as well. Moving to Hawaii soon, love to travel, and some friends recommended this site to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm moving to Oahu late summer/early fall and would love to have a place or two to call home for a few weeks, make new friends, have someone to show me around the island, before I find my long term home there. :) I'll bake you cookies!

I'd also love to share my place and teach you something about the Midwest! I love to meet new people!

Interests

I love travel, cooking and eating, festivals, the beach, live music, hiking/kayaking, meeting new people, family and friends, sports, rec leagues, the news, laughing, never ending learning opportunities, and so much more!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most types of music. Everything from Japanese Zen music, the 90s/00s, Frank Sinatra, Kenny Chesney, Weezer, TSwift, Eric Clapton, Nicki Minaj, The Postal Service, most music written for violin or piano... List goes on and on.

Movies: I like movies that are either ridiculously funny, or thought provoking, or the occasional RomCom since I'm a hopeless romantic...

Books: When I have time to read it's usually news-related, I do enjoy some occasional fiction if it's reality based... (Or good old Nick Sparks--see hopeless romantic).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd like to think everything I've done in life has a touch of amazing. Waking up every morning is amazing... think about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a mean chicken Marsala, a little song on the violin, everything Chicago!
