Hey guys! Here's a little about me. I grew up in a big family in Chicago, and spent my summers in France at my grandpa's farm. The past few years I've lived in a bunch of cities across the US, from Philadelphia to Boulder to San Francisco. In college I made money playing jazz on the street, and since then music has been one of my favorite ways to connect with people. I cook fresh meals as much as I can, and if we meet I'd love to share a big meal together. I also love doing taiji and yoga, because after music, movement is one of the fundamentals of the human experience (as opposed to Netflix - though the two can co-exist). I look forward to connecting!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

At the time of writing this, I'm digging:
- GRiZ (great for pingpong)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked from the Atlantic Ocean to the Colorado Rockies with two friends, breaking bread with the homeless and camping chez people we met along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages and coding, as they are both the great emancipators. Happy to teach you either.
