CURRENT MISSION

live a fruitful existence

ABOUT ME

chicago is my home and i have vast amounts of useful and useless knowledge about it that i can bore you to death with should you desire. i love travel, especially bicycle camping. i am fascinated by new and interesting food, conspiracy theories, and urban planning.

PHILOSOPHY

sincerity is a valuable thing. sustainability, in its rainbow of meanings, is worth working towards. bicycle snobs suck.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i have a great space to host other couchsurfers! i can give you a native's perspective on one of america's greatest cities. couchsurfing seems like a good way to meet like-minded people who would rather exchange ideas and experiences instead of money for a place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i couchsurfed before i knew it was a website in sweden, belgium, england, poland, and all across america... nowadays i've "officially" surfed and hosted the people listed below.
