About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Surviving on a liberal arts education

ABOUT ME

I divide my time between books, bike rides, running far & fast, playing with my Griffon pooch, and coffee, but am trying desperately to do all this somewhere instead of the United States.

PHILOSOPHY

I found a thrill I can rest my cheek to--a thrill that I have never known.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started on Couchsurfing back in 2009 but I've only just reactivated my account this winter. Just moved from Iowa City to Chicago in August, so I'm still exploring the city myself. I live in Wicker Park and would love to grab coffee (or other fun beverages) with any travelers passing through.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I loved being a couch host in Iowa City and only just started surfing couches this spring. I recently traveled to Paris and couch surfed using the "Warm Showers" network with my bicycle touring partner Chris. Check back in June if you're in need of a couch--we'll be done traveling for a bit and at our new place in Chicago!

Interests

running, cycling, languages of all types, my Wirehaired Pointing Griffon named Cormac, Slavic culture, roller derby, yirgacheffe coffee, and travel (duh).

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately, I've been addicted to Tom Robbins and David Sedaris. But I'm also in school, so lots of linguistic-nerdy texts too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fell down a mountain--and lived. Want to hear the story? You'll have to come to Chicago sometime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to meet people with the same open, steadfast, and curious attitude, where you just have to go out and find out life's answers for yourself. and if you can do it all on shoestring, bicycle, and surfing--even better.
