My name is Apollo (Stephen) and I am traveling with my partner Om Honna. We are musicians and healers. Honna specializes in sound healing and is also a yoga teacher and singer. Apollo is a tarot reader with a BA in psychology, and is a music producer, singer, and guitarist.

We've lived in Chicago for the last ten plus years and are striking out westward on a new adventure of discovery and connection.

We love nature, art, music, and deep conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Apollo has traveled all over the US with a band, and more recently met couchsurfers in Austin, Montreal, and at home in Chicago. Looking to be a part of the community, to offer housing if and when I can, and to meet amazing people in new places!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Apollo - several lengthy DIY tours with my old band, playing in punk houses, anarchist bookshops, dorm lounges, and the occasional bar. Seeing the amazing topography of the US and meeting so many creative and unusual young people opened a lot of doors in my mind.

Om Honna - Traveled to Central America for 6 months exploring the culture, indigenous plants, yoga, sound healing, and self-discovery. Gapping the bridge between the spirit world and inner peace that lies within. She is on a never-ending journey of self-improvement, discipline, and striving to conquer her dreams.
