Native Texan traveling the world as much as possible. I've lived in in Texas, Brooklyn, South Korea and Chicago since Jan 2014. I'm a bartender at night and a book worm during the day. If it's not freezing out (-19C), I try to hang around Lake Michigan as much as possible. I'm a good listener, fast talker and excited to swap travel stories.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first came into awareness of CS through a good friend of mine in New York. He's an active member and every couple of weeks he would be hosting someone new. I've never met so many friendly and adventurous Europeans since I was a teenager and had spent time in Spain. I want to start meeting people on my own now.

兴趣

Reading and meeting new people. Trying new restaurants, sometimes having a drink at a dive or a fancy cocktail. Being outdoors is great -- especially when it's warm out. Picnics, playing frisbee or just lounging under the sun is a treat.
