I'm a college freshman at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with some great life stories and more on the way! Current aspirations include getting my band, Home Invasion, off the ground, founding a crowd-funded underground art space/venue here in Chicago, and possibly studying to become an art or English professor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan on branching out to every state in the U.S, and then the world, as I aim to make connections and create experiences that I can turn into stories. Stories of human experience are very important to me as a writer/artist, and as a counselor at the wilderness skills summer camp I work at, where the stories people share are a big part of what people love about going there!
