My partner, Tomas, and I live in a two-bedroom apartment with a sizeable front yard in quaint Historic East Urbana. We are guardians to a sweet 10-year-old boy, have two cats, work full-time, and go to school. Tomas is an excellent cook and likes to build bikes--so we usually have a bike or two around to loan to surfers. We are a decent balance of relaxed and involved, participating in a lot of local organizing/activities. We are well-connected in CU and can help visitors navigate. We are pretty extroverted and love to cook and converse with guests.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I host, have surfed a few times, connect with folks in town and outside of it. I've offered my place to many people. I have both surfed and hosted. I really enjoy it and making sure your experience in Urbana-Champaign is memorable and special for you.
