I made this account for my friend Ellie and I as we go on a road trip this August. We are nice and fun people from the Chicagoland area.

Tell us about cool local things to do! House shows, free things, cheap things, spooky things

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not there yet

Teach, Learn, Share

Ellie can teach Japanese, math, statistics, insurance, stocks and retirement stuff if you want. Abby can teach you how to crochet with your fingers, and make butternut squash soup. Abby would love to learn how to actually knit or crochet. It would be cool to learn about other cultures and other cities, and what's fun to do locally where you live. We could tell stories about the places we've been or where we live and what our interests are.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can offer cash, help with meals, or anything we might be able to assist you with.
