CURRENT MISSION

After travelling and living in different cities in the PNW for the past 4 years I am returning to my hometown of Chicago for a bit. There I will reconnect with friends and family, explore my city deeper, continue training in dance, shoot photography, and train for EMT work.

ABOUT ME

I am fairly introverted, yet have plenty to say. I love good intellectual conversation and also appreciate a good debate. I am very interested in the environment, travel, and philosophy. I have been active in environmental and social justice work, including spending 3 months in the woods doing field surveying. I like being out in nature and live simply. I am a dancer, doing a style that is a mix of popping, tutting, liquid, and animation/robot. I am a photographer, shooting mostly street photos and architecture. I tend to gravitate to strange or dark humor and like the underground arts scene.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is absurd, roll with it. Be good to others. Protect and fight for what is right.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed and hosted others and enjoy both methods of participating. I particularly like to swap stories and share knowledge I've picked up, be it about good books, bike repair, writing, backpacking, or grassroots organizing.
