I'm a friendly American guy and extremely excited to experience places outside of America! I currently live and work in a great neighborhood on the north side of Chicago, IL. I love music (I've played guitar since I was 13), science, warm weather, alcoholic beverages, and a good joke.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm taking a five week trip to Europe followed by two weeks in Costa Rica. I'm on a budget and want to meet locals and fellow travelers. So, I'll be staying away from hotels and crashing on couches and hostel dorm beds. Time to get out of my American bubble!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've thought about this for five minutes and come up empty. I'm either modest or really boring. I'll get back to you.

教，学，和分享

I recently bought my first overseas plane ticket (to London) and got my first tattoo in the same day.

I'm a diehard Chicago Cubs fan. I realized after planning my trip that I booked it during the entire post-season. I'm slightly worried I'm going to miss their first World Series title 107 years.

I studied Spanish in high school, but I'm not fluent. I have Google Translate for the rest :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I am a neat freak in my own apartment and even neater in spaces that aren't mine.

I can play you songs if you own a guitar! I'll even tune it for you :)
