Friendly dependable traveler from Chicago. Traveling in CA with my 3 month old puppy Otto. Looking for a place to stay in the bay area until my flight comes in. I have some cash and can cover my own expenses. Message me for more info!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While we've loved our time camping on the various beautiful woods and beaches of the Pacific NW and Hawai'i, there have obviously been nights where a roof over our heads would have done us a world of good. And also we've literally been openly mocked by other travelers for not having a Couchsurfing account. So to salvage what's left of our traveling reputations I decided to make one, and here we are.

Interests

I'm primarily an activist, passionate about various social causes against social oppression and domination that exist in the world. I love helping people and it's what I exist to do. Also an enthusiastic lover of music, film, and literature.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music, I really dig punk and folk, or folk punk or punk folk or whatever the hell you wanna call it. I'm open to all genres and I love finding something of value in any artistic avenues.
I'm a huge movie buff so it's impossible to pick a favorite, but the 60s are probably my favorite era of film.
Anna Karenina is my favorite book because Tolstoy dun rite gud.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exactly what I'm doing right now- traveling! It's been a fantastic process of self-analysis and actualization and I've learned an incredible amount about the different areas I've been privileged to travel in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Me and my pup Otto love to meet new people, it's my favorite part of traveling and I'm a rational, friendly, and tidy individual to host on your various couches, futons, mattresses, etc. for a night or two. We provide endless jokes, conversation, and crazy travel stories!
