ABOUT ME

I'm Stephanie, but everyone calls me Steph! I live in Chicago :) I lived in Bucktown for two years and now reside in Buena Park.

In my free time I love going to concerts and music festivals, working out (hot yoga, barre, biking, and weightlifting), reading, traveling, and people watching.

I've never had the opportunity to leave the country, but will have my passport soon and want to go everywhere!

I am self aware, empathetic, and the right amount of political that always leaves me respectful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like traveling and meeting new people, like most people. However, this is a way more interesting and cheap way to do it on an independent contractor budget!

Music, Movies, and Books

If you like indie rock, we will get along great. Festival wise, I have been to Forecastle in Louisville, Shaky Knees in Atlanta (x4), Loufest in STL (×2), Riot Fest in Chicago (x3), Lollapalooza in Chicago (x2), and Pitchfork in Chicago (x2). Chuck Palahniuk is my favorite author. Any movie with Leo, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, or Edward Norton is golden, or written & directed by Quentin Tarrentino.
