CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to learn through adventure, curiosity, and experiences.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the Chicagoan suburbs and now work at a hospital in Chicago and live in Albany Park. I’d love to share my Midwestern kindness with those around me.

I recently went backpacking through Europe with a friend that spiked my interest in art history as well as couchsurfing. I enjoy going to art museums on my free time and learning about the different epochs of art from neo-classicalism to cubism. I couchsurfed while in Berlin and Amsterdam and I could not have asked for a better experience!

My friend and I have decided to dive deep and take an "adult gap year" and we're looking for hosts while we globe trott around. I'm really interested in learning more about sustainable and intentional communities, eco-villages, and other alternative ways of living. If this sounds like you, please reach out!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I participated in couchsurfing at first to find hosts for my backpacking trip through Europe. From my positive experiences, I found myself hoping to host others. I hope to make new friends from all over the country and the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I stayed with hosts in Amsterdam and Berlin and they were amazing! I hope that I can provide the same when I am available to host people.

Interests

Playing guitar, learning harmonica, dumpster diving and making recyclable art, I just realized my love for zines, going to concerts, making comic strips about my day, supporting my artist friends, throwing events, I have just adapted to becoming a city bicyclist and occasionally I enjoy running.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

5 of my friends and I took a rode trip down to Tennessee for the Bonnaroo music fest which was loads of fun..and sweat!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently interested in getting my master's degree in art therapy, so if anyone is interested in art, therapy, psychology, music, or anything else along those lines I would love to discuss and hear your input!

Also, you must be an open person who accepts everyone no matter color, race, sexuality, etc. for consideration to stay at my place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my optimism, sense of humor, and enthusiasm for adventure and sustainable living! And of course the basics like being courteous and respectful of your space.
