ABOUT ME

Grew up in Chicago and got bit by the travel bug early by going on road trips with my family. By the time I was in high school I had been to every US state (minus Alaska and Hawaii) and began exploring Canada in Mexico. In college I started making international trips and just haven't stopped going places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Providing a safe place for people seeking to explore a foreign world. Nothing feels better than having someone on your team to explore a new place and support you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a couchsurfer years ago in Canada and stayed with them before I even knew what couchsurfing was. They made my time in Toronto incredibly fun and interesting, so I joined up. I couchsurfed several times in Europe and have hosted people coming to the US.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Running around in the sahara desert in the dead of night. There's nothing but sand so you can run without fear of stepping on anything up and down the sand dunes. The whole world feels inverted because the sand is black and the sky is blue in comparison.
