CURRENT MISSION

Living life. Trying to meet people, have fun and see where the world takes me.

ABOUT ME

Laid-back, music-loving, creative, fun, intelligent guy. I like to do all sorts of things and Chicago is a great city to explore. Would like to find people who share an interest in good music, good restaurants and possibly traveling together.

PHILOSOPHY

Be liberal. Be human. Be great. Be fun. Be sad when it matters, happy when it matters. Travel, leave, go. Come home, love your family, make roots. Be urban for a while. Be rural for a while. See nature. Dance to music. Do these things and do them with all your gusto.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been off CS lately, but decided to get back into the game. I have a great apartment with a semi-open room and love to have people experience Chicago. I wish I could offer the room more often but I am not home much to be able to accommodate people many nights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a few local Chicago CSer's and had a few great nights hanging with them; Bulls games, St. Patty's Days, etc. Looking to meet new people and expand my friendships, networks and opportunities in Chicago.
