CURRENT MISSION
Do more comedy, join a band of rogue rollerskaters, and make some dope music.

ABOUT ME
My philosophy is to be kind with a spine, and to be punctual, but patient. I'm currently in Chicago doing everything that makes me happy (I mean that more in a self-actualized than hedonistic way).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like to host because it's lovely to meet quality folks from all over the world. My roommates and I hosted some of the finest people from all around the world. Now that I have my own place I continue to enjoy providing shelter for rad strangers, or as I like to call them, future friends!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My roomies and I hosted several people in Austin, and it was always an enjoyable experience on both sides. I like being a good host and giving Couchsurfing a good name. I've had nothing but gems for guests, and I don't want to break that streak. I've always been a host, but I'm really excited to soon be on the other side as a considerate guest.

Interests

Rubik's cubes, rollerskates, performing, etc. When I feel the need to distract myself, I usually spend some quality time with my synthesizer writing goofy songs about my friends. Every day, I spend at least an hour on introspection. I'm fascinated by other people who are highly opinionated and have a passion for something in life which they're pursuing. I enjoy writing about social issues I don't understand, but would like to learn more about. I love making mix CDs (RIP mix tapes). I love exploring places I've never been and relishing in the moment. I believe in random acts of kindness, and that it is good to be a good person just for the sake of being a good person.
