CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to be the raddest host in chicago. someday.

ABOUT ME

We are a lesbian couple who love the arts and social justice...

Clover is a working artist who enjoys performance art and video installation, but also does some painting and mixed media work.

Sarah works in the social work field. She is hardworking and enjoys music and travel. She also loves biking.

We are engaged! We have 1 dog and 3 orange cats, but have a big enough apartment in which the animals and people all have their own space.

Our 2 bedroom apartment includes a spare bedroom furnished with a full bed which is quite comfy! we call this room our "couchsurfing room".
We also have a couch in our living room that isnt too bad either.

We are open to hosting couchsurfers, but at a max of 4 days or so. We do not smoke or do drugs- but you can smoke cigarettes outside.

We also are not big drinkers, but occaisonally like a bottle of red wine, or some pbr at a local dive bar, or maybe a delicious whiskey drink...

Over all, we are pretty laid back and enjoy watching good indie movies, and good conversation.

If your lucky to catch a surf with us, Clover also enjoys cooking up quite the feast for her guests! We also have a quaint garden with plenty of organic veggies in the summertime.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing a baby calf being born was pretty nifty.
My favorite amazing thing done was digging out one of those giant concrete planters downtown chicago, having my friends wrap me like a mummy from head to toe in bubble wrap, and laying me in the planter like a fetus. then they covered me in 100 lbs. of peanuts. Buried in peanuts. With a breathing tube. AMAZING.
