CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to always have a good time, whatever the circumstances may be.

ABOUT ME

I'm just Jane! I play piano and sing (play mostly classical, sing mostly jazz, hip-hop, and bossa with some classical training). Graduated from Lawrence University in 2009 and right after won a Fulbright scholarship to teach English in Germany. From September 2009-July 2010 I spent in Saxony, Germany. I've lived in Chicago for going on six years and just love it here!!! I love coffee (worked at several coffee shops through the years), wine, beer, any kind of drink really, and I love good food. Cooking is fun, but going out is way better :) I love meeting new people and have only had great experiences with couchsurfing!
