ABOUT ME

I am a curious cat, a pragmatic idealist, and a light-hearted troublemaker. Newly transplanted to Chicago from my home in San Francisco, learning to grow roots in prairie soil.

A country bumpkin turned urbanist.

I live with my partner, Peyman, and our 2 kitties, Jean Luc Picard and a Boy Named Sue. Peyman is a dancer, a poet, a goofball, and a revolutionary. He grew up in Iran, lived his adolescence in Turkey, and has been here in the States for 5 years. Peyman likes whiskey and Tom Waits.

PHILOSOPHY

Outlaws, being less frightened by the bewildering variety of experience, being, in fact, slightly mad for encounters new and extreme, will seek to choose even when no choice readily presents itself. -Tom Robbins, Still Life of the Woodpecker

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After years of surfing all over the globe, I am now finally in a position to host fellow travelers!!
