CURRENT MISSION

To chill and explore

ABOUT ME

I just graduated at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (~3 hours from Chicago, IL) with a B.S. in Computer Science. I haven't had many chances to travel extensively but I think couchsurfing is a great opportunity for open-minded and adventurous individuals to meet and share their experiences together while exploring somewhere new or familiar! I'm always down for whatever the city and people have to offer and just plain and simple, love having a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

I think no matter where you go or what you do, if you are open enough to change and are able to adapt to your surroundings then you won't only do fine in life, you'll actually learn how to live it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to host once I move to Los Angeles in August of 2013 but am looking to surf with some chilled out individuals in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This will be the first time couch surfing so here's to hoping there's some good times to be made!

Interests

MUSIC, I'm an avid concert go-er and love listening to new and interesting sounds from locals, meeting new people, checking out new sights, staying up late, wandering to see where cool stuff takes me next, window shopping, ice hockey (go Blackhawks), badminton, tennis and learning new things, especially when those things blow my mind!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snorkeling in Parguera in Puerto Rico! Amazing time. Then went to see the biobay in the area where the water lights up. It was beautiful!

Watching the sun rise in Tagaytay, Philippines
The white beaches of Cebu, Philippines.

Walking down the shores of Torrey Pines in San Diego.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you some basics on the piano/violin and a few guitar chords here and there but always all in good fun :) If you're into programming, I might know a thing or two in that area as well
