CURRENT MISSION

To Create

ABOUT ME

I have brown hair with specks of gray. I find myself ordering bacon cheeseburgers more often than Veal Normande or Duck Foie Gras. In the second grade Mrs. Meehan caught me drawing bikini-clad women. I want/need to travel from time to time, and I try to draw/paint/scribble in a sketchbook everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just signed up, and as soon as I get settled in Chicago I'll gladly put my couch on the market.
