About the host
Hosted by Anthony Aburaad
Nice to meet you! I grew up northwest of Chicago and live in the Bay now, where I spend most of my time doing endurance sports and finding new music. I love staying in Airbnbs, and am excited to host my own in Galena, the source of many fond childhood memories.
