CURRENT MISSION

Stay out of trouble and have fun... mostly the latter.

ABOUT ME

We are a young couple who just moved to Chicago after graduating from Tulane (in New Orleans). We love traveling and experiencing new things. We come from completely different backgrounds (Natalie from the midwest suburbs, Bennett from the hills of Oregon) and are continuously learning together. We love new people, music, art, questions, wine, beer, cheesy television, good food, and most of all having fun.

PHILOSOPHY

We are here. Life isn't complete without people. Friends are the most important.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Our good friends participated in CS, and we became addicted! So far we are only hosting, but hope to be surfing soon!

Cheap wine, good food, cheesy television, rugby, dance, music, traveling, friends, late nights, sleeping in, cooking, and just having fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

We both have eclectic tastes from reggae, classic rock, punk to classical, musical theater, and Lady Gaga. We adore reading, from Sherlock Holmes, to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Harry Potter and Crime and Punishment. We like movies. Favorites include: James Bond, Star Wars, American Psycho, Newsies, The Departed, Across the Universe, etc. etc. etc. TV shows include: Biggest Loser, Glee, Star Trek, Entourage. Also, Bennett will talk about Dr. Who and Red Dwarf for hours to anyone who is willing to listen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Natalie: "Robert Downey Jr touched me"
Bennett: "I touched Cuba Gooding Jr"

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what we know, but we both graduated so I am sure one of us can read and the other maybe not as well... We are ferocious learners, so if you want to share your knowledge beware as we will consume it like Velociraptors enjoying fine steak.
