CURRENT MISSION

Find the best cup of coffee in Chicago

ABOUT ME

I'm reserved but not shy. Easy-going and cheerful. I try to be very informed about the world and I care a great deal about human rights and the environment.
I am in school right now, studying anthropology, literature, and creative writing, and I am passionate about each of these subjects. My life goal is to write a novel.

PHILOSOPHY

1. Everything in moderation. Especially moderation.
2. Be good to self. Be good to others.
3. Stop to notice things. Take nothing for granted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live in Chicago and unfortunately I can't currently host couch surfers. I am, however, open to meet up for coffee and tell them about the city.
In the past I've traveled throughout Europe staying on couches, and had an amazing time all around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing is wonderful.

Interests

Cooking and baking, cooperatives, kittens (I like most animals), dancing, biking, activism, hiking and camping, art, poetry, people watching, card games, reading and writing, exploration of new places. Travel, of course.
I am learning how to play chess.
My biggest guilty pleasures are sweets and fashion magazines.
