CURRENT MISSION

Less talk, more action

ABOUT ME

I figure it's time to grab life by the balls and stop making excuses for not doing the things I always think about doing. I currently reside in Chicago. It is a pretty amazing city. I've been here for about 5 years. Who knows where the next 5 years will take me. I'm pretty easy going when it comes to my social life. I've been told I am type A by day, Party queen by night. I'm cool with that. I am a bit of a walking contradiction in many aspects of my life. I like to think I'm pretty balanced. I love dive bars, rock n' roll dance floors, small music venues, corner pizza joints, strong drinks with class and style, coffee shops, outdoor cafes, high art, low art and everything in between.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life for myself. It sounds a bit self centered. Make yourself happy and then you can make others happy. I live my life by karma. I always try to put myself in the other persons shoes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Shoot me a line. I'll show you some good spots in this city. I love showing people around. There's always something to do, someone to see.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am constantly hosting friends and friends of friends during the summer in chicago. The winters are bit slower, but i do still get a bit of the hard core folks who love the city enough to brave the winter.
