About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Current Mission: make things (better). baby steps.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently based in Brooklyn, but I'm a Chicago native working at places where art, education, social justice, and environmental consciousness intersect. I love to travel, ranging from remote rural sojourns to epic transnational journeys.

PHILOSOPHY

You make your own life. Make sure it's good. Everything can be a laughing matter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Obviously, I believe in the philosophy and community around couchsurfing. Traveling is for collecting experiences, and all the better when those experiences can be shared. I hope to meet cities and spaces through the people and faces that fill them.

Right now, my current living situation does not allow me to host as much as I would like to (I live with several room mates) I hope to one day give back as much as I have been so generously given throughout my travels!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only hosted the most lovely people through couchsurfers, and hope to be a lovely person for any of my hosts in turn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've always had a life-long goal of being able to do a headstand. CHECK!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to be highly efficient in food and life... rooting out the cheapest eats and experiences that yield maximum satisfaction. This can be taught to only the swift footed and pure at heart.
