UPCOMING TRIPS: New Orleans, LA, USA (April 9-14)

NOTE: I am traveling with my partner, who is a sound designer and theater artist.

I am a recent college graduate living in Chicago in the United States. I work for a technology company that makes educational software for prisons.

My dream is to travel the world and use art to tell people's stories. I am open minded and excited to experience new things.

I am an easy, simple traveler, but very frugal and interested in sustainable and minimal living! Which is why I'm here. I'm excited to meet whomever crosses my path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in people and our ability to reach out for others when they need help, especially a place to stay. While I cannot offer housing in my current situation, there is beauty in humans helping out humans and getting the opportunity to learn from one another and build relationships all around the world.

I also am a huge advocate for sustainable living, and believe co-living is one way to encourage people to share for the greater good.

This is my first time surfing or hosting, so that is why I don't have any references. I hope you will take a chance on me. Please ask me anything you need to feel comfortable. I am a considerate house gust and grateful to be sharing your space with you.

Interests

I am open to any experience that teaches me about the way people live in different parts of the world. I tend to more outdoor activities, but also enjoy eating, drinking and dancing all night long.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music, except American country music. I love thriller movies, horrors, and comedies. I have lots of favorite books, too many to name. I am always reading something new, including comic books and graphic novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I grew up on an archaeological dig in Peru and was in a banana eating contest with an Israeli soccer team!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some English, Spanish, how to make a grilled cheese, how to paint, and some simple photography skills. I am open to learning anything! I'd like to learn how to play music, how to make local food, or build things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cleaning, house repairs, a good meal, stories, Tarot card readings, good listening, an open mind.
