ABOUT ME

I'm Geoff and she's my wife Melanie. We are in our early 30's and live in Chicago where we have been for over 10 yrs. I'm from Michigan and she's from Arkansas. We like art, music, the outdoors, games, friends and good times. She has a Art History Masters, and is hoping to get into that field. I have worked in or around music for some ten years now and I also play drums. We love life and are always looking for something fun and new. Also, getting restless in Chicago.

PHILOSOPHY

what goes around, comes around. karma is great, but it can also be a bitch. live well and treat other kindly, and you will be rewarded.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I toured the country in a band in my early 20's and slept on strangers floors and couches in almost every state. I was broke but had the time of my life. I really appreciated those people (strangers) opening their houses to me. Some of them have remained good friends to this day. Now I hope to be able to offer the same hospitality to traveling folks.

My wife and I are very much interested arts and entertainment. Music, Paintings, Sculptures, Movies etc. She likes to dance, and I like to bike. We like good people and friendship, good food and tasty cocktails.
