About Me

I live, work, and go to school in downtown Indianapolis. I taught English and traveled extensively throughout Peru over the course of six months two years ago, staying at many hostels and homes of friends that I met along the way. I really enjoyed this and thought it would be neat to host some travelers at my own place here in Indy!

I have a 2 bedroom apartment in the heart of downtown Indianapolis on Mass Ave, one of Indy's cultural districts. It is within walking distance to everything, including grocery, drug store, restaurants, nightlife, and attractions. I bike everywhere and have an extra bike that you could ride, if you'd like!

I work as a concierge at Indianapolis' #1 of 183 hotels on TripAdvisor, so hosting guests is kind of the name of the game for me. I'd be happy to host you during your trip, as I already host about 100 guests per day at my workplace!

I'm happy to show my guests around town to some of my favorite local spots when I'm not committed to work. You can usually find me enjoying a local jazz show, shooting pool at dive bars, or biking around the city with friends.
