自我介绍

Hi! :) I'm Jason- a friendly, hyperactive, short and energetic fellow from the MidWest who loves building stuff and going places. I'm a "people-person" from a family of world travelers; 4th generation Chicago cityboy with experience working in museums, hotels and ecolodges around the globe. Chicago history, architecture, and preservation are big interests of mine, and I take great pride in caring for the historic properties my family has lived in, owned & maintained for decades. I love AirBnb. We have traveled, backpacked, hiked, camped, hoteled moteled, couch-surfed and home-shared... But AirBnb has been the single best thing to happen to us in our adult lives. When we travel, we turn to AirBnb first, whether internationally, nationally, and in our own hometown. From the glitzy new city experience to weekend trip to some small town in the country, we prefer staying with those in the AirBnb community. The experience is always unique and always more authentic. We are AirBnb hosts and consider it central to our lives here in Chicago. Because my family lives in Chicago, one of us is always in the city, often while the rest of us travel. Any repairs are handled immediately. A while back, when I was moving from the building we own, we decided to open it for AirBnB guests. Now we have progressed to having vacation rentals within the building where we live. Living upstairs with my son allows us to keep in great touch with our guests, maintaining the gardens and accommodations ourselves, as well as hosting occasional art, music and dining events. I love this way of traveling and hosting; meeting the folks who come to stay with us is precisely what fuels me on the day-to-day, and it's what makes our vacations so much more enjoyable! We've met hundreds of incredible people and stayed in fantastic homes across the world. AirBnb has been such a great chapter in our lives! :)
