CURRENT MISSION

Nobody can even tell you what tomorrow will bring, so why try to think so hard about the future? I'm enjoying my life and adventures one day at a time. Really happy to be living in Europe again and to have the chance to meet and interact with people of so many different backgrounds.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Chicago but have been living and working in other places since finishing Uni in 2012. Been across Europe, East Asia, and down to South Africa but there is still much more to see. Still located in Berlin and taking trips to other parts of Europe, but I want to start hosting and see who else I meet out there in this giant world of ours! I've also become an amateur half marathon runner, completing 3 in 3 different countries in the last few years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking forward to meeting some fellow like minded people and trying to make sense of this thing we call life! I am looking to start hosting people now so if you would like to crash with me in Berlin please send an actual message that shows you've read my profile :)

Interests

Sports, sightseeing, history, beer....it's ideal if I can combine them all into one adventure. I really have a laid back attitude and can take anything in stride. I think it's important to let go of the little things that you can't control. I am really interested in history and how it has affected human movements and the way we are today. I am also a keen follower of politics (international not just US, bad time to follow US politics) and like to learn from people their opinions about their own countries, not just basing my opinions off of what I read.
