Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty eclectic music taste but jambands are my favorite. Shantaram is my favorite book and Top Gun in the greatest movie ever made!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many experiences to choose from, but hiking the Inca Trail was pretty amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My apartment is in a safe high-rise building in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood very close to downtown, across from Lincoln Park, a 5 minute walk to the beach and lakefront, near many bars/restaurants/shops, and is easily accessible to public transportation (numerous buses and trains). The building also has the best views of the city in my opinion. My schedule varies as I work part-time and study often as I am in the midst of a career change but I'd be willing to give you plenty of advice if I cannot show you around myself and provide you with a place to rest your head with clean facilities/sheets/towels. Please no guests who intend to come home in the wee hours of the morning! Depending if I'm cooking you may get a meal or two.
