I currently live in Chicago and work at a major hospital here as a Pediatric nurse. While I absolutely love what I do, I often find myself day dreaming about traveling the world. I am laid back, up for any type of exploring, enjoy dancing, reading, people watching and drinking cheap wine. I am by no means a good cook but I certainly love attempting to make a delicious meal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I backpacked Europe for a month with one of my good friends and we mostly surfed our way around. We met extremely generous, welcoming hosts who went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. I will never forget their hospitality and therefore would like to give back in someway to the couch surfing community, whether it be meeting up for drinks or showing you around Chicago.
Couchsurfing provided me the opportunity to explore the hidden gems of different cities I otherwise wouldn't have discovered.
