I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a total travel nut who lives to explore and likes nothing better than sitting back and trading stories with fellow travelers. I love meeting new people, making new friends and getting to know a different culture. I've tromped around Europe a lot and can't wait to branch out and explore China, Australia and Central/South America! I'm a huge fan of soccer and a diehard supporter of Hertha Berlin and Arsenal. I also get completely crazy during the World/Euro Cup. I think Berlin is the coolest place in the world. I live and die by my Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs, and though that usually entails more pain than joy, it never stops me from coming back and declaring "next year" will be our year!
