CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel as much as possible, keep in touch with myself, avoid stress at all costs, love myself, be courteous to others, and to help someone out when they are in need.

ABOUT ME

I'm back to good ol' ChicagoI love facts, history, learning. Music, going out/ Sitting around. Sometimes I talk, Sometimes I listen.I am sometimes very mysterious, a little shy at the beginning but when I break out of my shell I can be tons o' fun! I like Stinky, Smelly, Cheese. Camembert seems to be my favorite at the moment. It's hard to really describe who you are in words, ya?

PHILOSOPHY

Karma.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Pay it forward. I'll bum you a cigarette if I have some. I'll give you some money if you need some, granted I have some. I'll lend you my book, my knowledge, cook for you, and dance like a monkey if you want me to. (Hmm, maybe) I am very indecisive sometimes. I could sit around all day in my room and draw, research music, read. I could sit in a cafe for hours just people watching. Its one of my favorite things to do in fact. OR on the other hand, I could party until the next day. It really depends on how I feel or if someone convinces me. I like having meaningful conversations about life and how I feel about it, my thoughts on things and I LOVE learning about music history. I love learning about new bands/artists, it makes me feel like I have profited so much when I go home with knowledge of a new artist.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and have had a great experience surfing as well. I've met really good friends on CS, and hope to see them again in the future!
