Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have people crashing on my couch weekly. They could be beloved friends or friendly strangers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to stay at a tight group of people's house on the weekends in Humboldt Park (Chicago, Illinois, United states). We all didn't really know each other, I just happened to befriend a guy over a 6 hour Megabus ride from Cleveland, Ohio, United States to Chicago. ... These people I barely knew became my new family.

Since then, I have ALWAYS opened my home, kitchen, and/or couch to trainhoppers, traveling bands, wanderers, friends of friends, drunk folk, chance acquaintances, and people like you.

Meeting new people is a happy constant as well as enjoying live music, spending time with friends, and talking about ideas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- The first time I saw a shooting star I almost ran my car off the road.

- Watching fireworks reaching across the Chicago skyline and over the southern loop on the Fourth of July on top of a movie theatre's parking garage in West Ridge. It was a special moment with a family of friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

Illustration (hand-drawn), digital art (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), visual communication, product trending, design research & development and branding identity are my forté.

I enjoy singing and am complimented on my voice, but I simply pursue it as a hobby and just for fun.

...

I would love to learn anything and everything. Whether it has to do with instruments, design, skateboarding, insects, rock climbing, cycling, sewing, martial arts, food, music, coffee, etc. I don't know?! What do you do? Tell me about yourself!
