I am an artist currently based in Chicago, IL. I mainly travel with my girlfriend, Alex. At the moment we are using this as a couple account unless otherwise stated. Both of us love cooking, arts, and exploring new cities!

Música, películas y libros

Ian- mostly comedy films, punk and metal music, Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite author

Alex- drama/comedies, independent films and documentaries, chill wave indie music, 80s/90s dance and alternative jams, I mostly read about travel, philosophy, and science

Algo increíble que he hecho

Ian- I've been making ceramic plate-wear for restaurants for almost 4 years, and recently helped a fine dining French chef revamp his menu with my plates as the background

Alex- I was scuba certified and dived 150ft into the Blue Hole in Belize with sharks surrounding us!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

We both love learning about other cultures, ways of life, authentic foods and customs. We'd love to learn other languages more fluently and can engage in a language exchange (English is our first language). We are capable of teaching on arts such as ceramics, collage, and painting.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

We can cook a delicious meal and Alex can make a great cocktail!
