I’m from Chicago, USA. I love meeting new people, exploring new cultures, music and cuisines.

By night I am a writer, musician and organizer and by day, a cultural event coordinator. I love folk and traditional music from around the world and play the cello, sitar and fiddle in the Middle Eastern orchestral, Hindustani and Irish traditions.

I love a long conversation over coffee, tea, a couple pints or shisha!!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I recently couchsurfed my way through Iraq and had a wonderful time. I hope to bring that welcoming and generous spirit to people passing through Chicago as well. I want to meet new friends and share new experiences all over the world.

音乐、电影和书籍

Last read: Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar. I enjoy reading James Baldwin, Arundhati Roy and Gabor Mate — anything that weeps like a poem and uncovers a dark corner of the human experience.

Musically all over the map, current obsession is Miles Davis’ Guinnevere

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Played cello in a music video with one of my favorite bands, Fontaines D.C.

教，学，和分享
