Born and raised in IL. Lived in Colorado, New York, and Indiana. Living in Chicago. Hope to live in the West in the near future.

I can say that I have a creative imagination, oh and pretty crafty too. I have designed and made my own jewelry. I can also knit hats and scarves. Once upon a time, I have sewn clothes for Barbie to wear instead of the store bought ones.

I usually catcall babies and animals in public. I don’t care about their adults.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Want to travel more non-stop.

I don't want to worry about lodging costs anymore as a single factor to step down from a trip.

Recently have experienced solo road trips from coast to coast (not all at once).

Making new friends with similar interests and passions would be an absolute plus.

音乐、电影和书籍

Too many to list...but you can check out my Goodreads profile if you ask.
I spend my time reading lots of books now. Digital and print, yes that also includes very old smelly books as well. For non-fiction: I read biographies, politics, memoirs, and all history.

Grew up with classical music and forever it will be a part of me. Play the piano, flute, and guitar. Love to sing and write music.

I don't enjoy going to go see the movies anymore. I'm always going to be interested in watching independent and old school horror flicks I can find for free online.

The themes I enjoy for now on whether in music, movie, or literature: supernatural/paranormal, action/adventure, post-apocalyptic/dystopian, mystery/thriller and historical

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

People tell me it when I was once a soldier, but I want to know what else I can do more.

教，学，和分享

Degree in History from one of the top university programs in the U.S.
Worked in an after school learning center for math and reading.

I record my experiences, especially when I travel, through media and writings.

I will never run out of things to say in a conversation.

I can go from giving history lessons to case law drama.
