I grew up in New York City, but I've lived in Chicago for four years now, and love it. It's relaxed, affordable, and lots of fun.

I like to make friends, have a good time, and go on adventures. It sounds cheesy, but I'm always down to go with the flow and do what sounds fun to other people, get on their level, broaden my experience.

I used to work for the Onion.

I have a really a fun cat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To go places I might not be able to afford to go otherwise, meet people I might not meet if I stayed in a hotel, and have cool adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to climb Mount Kilimanjaro when I was 17, which was a total blast.
