Hello! I'm Heather. I'm a born and bred Midwestern gal; born in Cleveland, raised in Indiana and currently residing in Chicago, IL. I have epic wanderlust and a laid-back attitude. I have two dogs, a cat, two turtles and a human roommate who is an anthropologist and museum manager/curator. I work part-time at my friend's lighting business and am taking coding classes at a local community college. My long-term goal is to work remotely so I can travel as much as possible!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a lovely futon that turns into a full-size bed. My condo is less than a half mile from the brown line, which makes it easy to get to wherever you want in the city for not much money. It's quiet, has radiator heat and window unit air conditioning, a dishwasher, and cute animals.
