I really enjoy traveling and meeting new people. I'm always trying to learn about new places, cultures, and languages. I moved to Chicago a few months ago and love the city. Before this I lived in Indonesia for two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer teaching English in a small town in East Java.

I enjoy street festivals, museums, trying new beers and craft cocktails, cooking and eating out, all types of music, and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for new experiences and new people to share adventures with. I couchsurfed a bit while studying abroad in Italy, but I forgot the password and the email was a school one which I no longer have access to so I thought I'd just make a new account. Hoping to get to know new, exciting people on my adventures and show people around Chicago!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music, especially alternative. I love going to pop-up concerns like So-Far Sounds and GroupMuse. Love seeing new bands and musicians and local festivals.

My favorite movies are "Finding Forrester," and "Good Will Hunting."

My favorite books are many and varied and often changing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hotwired a car before (I didn't steal it).

Teach, Learn, Share

As a teacher and a traveler, I like to learn about other cultures and share my own culture. Ask me questions! I'll be sure to ask you some!

A spirit of adventure and a sense of humor. I'm flexible and always help with chores!
