ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small college town in Illinois. It was an experience unlike a big city and different from a small town since I grew up in Champaign/Urbana, IL home to the University of Illinois (UIUC). I played basketball soccer and baseball growing up. In highschool I ran cross country and track and gained a new love for running. For my first two years of my college experience I ventured outside my hometown to St. Louis University, home of the Billikens. I lived in St. Louis, MO for a couple years interning and going to school until I transferred into the college of business at UIUC back in my hometown. I just graduated in fall of 2012 and am starting a job in Chicago as a CPA this fall.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just heard of couch surfing from a friend that had used it himself while traveling to Europe. I am really looking forward to the experience and eventually being able to be a host in the future.
