-

I live in Ukrainian Village. Despite the name, it's full of Polish delis, bars, and people.

My household contains Abby and myself.

We have one large couch, a spare bedroom with air mattress and I tuck away a twin bed.

No pets allowed. I don't know who would travel with a pet, but I don't plan on hosting that person. Maybe if you have a bird, or some form of non-mammal. Then maybe.

We don't smoke. Has to be done outside.

What isn't there to do around here? I moved here because this is where the party is!

Blue Line is within 10 minutes walking time.

During the week, I can show you around. On weekends, I can show you around at night. Every night is a great night to go out. I am, after all, a tour guide.

I prefer to go to bed late. Later than late, usually. Bars here are open until 4am.

Honestly, weekdays are best only because you'll get more time to hang out with your host. Either way, if I'm in town then I'm around.

Blankets? Yeah!

How many days? This is a big city. Make yourself at home.

Contact me no more than 7 days in advance of your stay. My schedule and temperament cater to the last minute crowd.

Rules:
1. Introduce yourself after reading my profile.
2. Have a sense of adventure.
3. Say thanks.

Personal Description

My profile is new and I'm looking to make myself some newly found friends all of this planet. Mmm hmm.

Until I'm more motivated to fluff up my profile:

Try www.myspace.com/kentkentkent
Or www.myspace.com/crazykent

I'm quite the fan of riding my bikes. Since I tend to travel and have to abandon bikes that I've worked on, I have them scattered in several cities so that I have convenient transportation when I get to town.

If anybody is into that whole Myers-Briggs temperament sorting, I am the ESTP.

*******************************************UPDATE

I'm going to let all of the above stay on here as long as I'm part of the community because those are the original words that I used to start up my little profile.

I travel a lot. I move a lot, in many ways.

"When standing in one place they tend to wriggle rhythmically as if they have a slight electric current running through them." - Socionics.com

This is one of the things that made me laugh when reading about the ESTP, or myself.



How I Participate in CS

I travel frequently. So, I seek out people who look like they'd like to be more active in the community but just haven't found the right opportunity. Then, I say hello.

ATTENTION ALL NEARBY TRAVELERS
My phone number is on my profile. Chances are high that I have free time while you're looking for something to do. I'm willing to meet everyone that is willing to meet me, so let me know. Meanwhile, I'll be typing.

CouchSurfing Experience

I host people. People host me.

Interests

Dancing. Music. Networking. Drinking tea! Socializing. Talking. Eating food, real food that is. Non-GMO, deliciously MSG-free, yeast-free, gluten-free yummy food. Drinking more tea. Consuming liquids. Potato vodkas. Sharing life. First-hand experiences.

Philosophy

Eat, drink, and be merry.

Music, Movies, Books

Please Understand Me Vol. 2
In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto

Types of People I enjoy

I enjoy meeting people that love the place they call home. Being told where to go and what to do is something that is always worth discovering with a little help from a local. Otherwise, I'm just not going to use my time as effectively. I've met some people whom I ended up having to show them where fun is found in their city. It was still a good time, but hearing that "there is nothing to do here" will always be a cause for some frustration and disbelief.

Teach, Learn, Share

What do I wish I had known when I first joined the project?

You can do far more than host or surf!

Click that Events tab at the top menu and sniff around for an event near you. If you're extremely new and just signed up because you have travel plans in your future then local CS events are your best chance to start building your little network.

Don't see an event in your area? Then why not make one? After you know what you want to do, perform a CouchSearch for people in and surrounding your hometown. Now, begin creating your event. Post it! Then you can look at your cute little event page and MORE IMPORTANTLY, send out invitations. There is a button for sending invitations, and once you click it the option will appear send invitations out to a recent CouchSearch. After that, it will only be a matter of time before people begin telling you why they can't make it, but that's okay. People that you've never heard from will likely show and it'll be a great time. :D

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Kent welcomed me into his home and was hell-bent on showing me a good time (which was awesome! and very encouraging). He not only showed me around the town but he took me to some excellent food joints around town, and you should definitely ask him about "THE EGG." I had a great time and because of my excellent time, my new new years resolution is to be more active on coachsurfing.

I met Kent and Abby at the Holiday Club and we talked about cheap beers, Wicker Park, and recommending food to out-of-towners. Clearly he's a big deal on this site, and it's not surprising why -- Kent's friendly, funny, and always eager to meet new people. I'll see him at a CS event sometime soon!

Kent, Abby, Natalie and Morgan (Jackson & Biscuit)were my first cs experience. 3 nights became 8 days, they were awesome! When coming back after a weeks traveling it was like coming home.
Kent is fun, outgoing, telling u one story after the other and has an incredible pronunciation asking u "How was ur shopping experience?" in Polish.
I really hope to c u and Abby in Heidelberg next summer and challenge ur Polish drinking abilities.
Take care

It's a shame they took away "Extremely Positive" because this man truly deserves it. Kent is by far the coolest ambassador I've met. This, despite him stuffing me in a closet and blinding me with that gold watch. I still don't know how this man drinks vodka with such abandonment. I'm thankful that he jazzed up my phone and gave me tips on self-promotion. Looking forward to the revival of CrazyKent!

Our visit in Sept 08 to Chicago was made perfect due to Kent's vast knowledge of his new hometown. We took his Chicago Food Planet tour & learned some great history & sampled some tasty eats. Kent knows where a visitor should go for a great time. If you want to see the city, enjoy great nightlife & eat what your taste buds desire-he knows exactly where to go. Have your walking shoes ready because he will try to show you the most in the least amount of time! Thanks for hosting us-we will be back.

Kent goes the extr mie to surf with newer folks or on "exotic" couches, and in al regards he beliees and lives for what this community does at its core. He is an explorer and communer, by nature. i am fully gad that his homebase is in my city, for he wil make an excellent Nomad.

I originally met Kent at a Madison coffee shop for a little CS gathering and enjoyed some interesting conversations with him. He sure knows how to make me laugh (or at least put a smile on my face)! I ended up surfing his couch in Chicago for a weekend, and he showed me the best time I've had in a long time. Kent knows his way around and makes for a great guide (in more ways than one!). He's very social and can read people like a book. He's a great guy to talk to about pretty much anything. I'm glad I got the chance to get to know him better, and I hope we get to hang out a lot more in the future. He'll always have a couch available to him at my place!

Kent is the aspiring overlord of the CouchSurfing community. I think he may have a pretty good shot at it too! We discussed mass invasions of other cities with hordes of crazed Surfers and his neat golden watch as I witnessed him eat an entire pizza in one sitting. I'd hang out with him anytime.

Some people become CouchSurfers, but I got the feeling Kent always has been one. He's such an inspiring guy. If you haven't met him yet, don't worry. He's probably coming to a town near you, sooner or later.

Kent astounds me with his ability to never really NEED a permanant residence. He might have one, but he could pick up and leave at the drop of a dime and never look back. He makes friends so easily, which I guess is why he can achieve happiness just about anywhere. He has a great sense of humor and is fun to be around. He's always down for some good conversation and cheap wine.

It's nice to discover someone you don't know, eating in front of you, and enjoying food as much as you do!

In this ethiopian restaurant for a CS meeting, we were four sharing a big plate, and Kent and I probably ate the three quarters of the plate!

He's really willing to meet people, and he has a nice open-minded attitude.

I wish I had gotten to sit next to Kent in my first CS Meeting because he seemed so interesting from across the table. We didn't talk very much but I really liked his style. He's a really intelligent person who seems like he's into the same stuff as me. Kent is a natural conversationalist, he was socializing with everyone at the table. He's very humorous as well. I always seemed to see him laughing or smiling the entire night. I hope to surf his couch in Florida some day.

Kent emailed me just when I was wishing to meet more couchsurfers! He and Abby seem like great people and spirited travellers. We met up to have some drinks and discuss the fascinating world of CS. It was a good, good time.

Kent is a pretty chill person with a kind disposition. He is open-minded and a great person to know in a big city like Chicago. Plus if you are really nice, he'll serve you up some awesome tea. Awww!

Kent is the best kind of person to could come into contact with! His positive outlook on life is something that will rub off on you. His need to find the funnest thing at any given moment and his motivation to meet as many new people at all times is enough to make anyone instantly love him. You would be a fool to not let this person stay at your home.

Kent is officially my best couchsurfing introduced friend. Great conversation, super fun and really positive about any situation. He travelled with a trash can on his back. That makes him cool.

This guy will change your life. Seriously, you've probably never met someone who looks at the world like Kent Seaver. Let him bond with your couch and you'll find that after your time is over, it looks incomplete without him.

I've known this dude for an extremely long time and he rocks. We've traveled all over the eastern seaboard together and have collaborated on numerous photo adventures.
