Hello! I was born and raised in Chicago and consider myself easygoing, open-minded, and laidback. Since I joined Couchsurfing in 2019, I’ve traveled to 40+ countries—what started as a dream has truly become a lifestyle. While I don’t use the app as often as I used to, I still enjoy connecting with people when I can. I’m passionate about learning from different cultures, sharing stories, and finding common ground across borders. I love dancing (bachata, salsa, samba, etc), trying local foods, and diving into authentic, local everyday experiences wherever I go :) Always up for meaningful conversation, spontaneous plans, or a shared laugh. _________________________________________________ *******This is NOT a dating app******* ***I’m NOT able to host at the moment** Friend requests will not be accepted if we have never met or had a conversation. _________________________________________________

The place I traveled to that changed me the most was...
Brasil. the people, the music, the ambience, everything about it. it’s my second home now 🫶🏼
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
• To foster meaningful connections with people around the world. • Have the experience of a local. • I believe there’s always something to learn from every person you come across - whether it’s about someone else, culture, or yourself!
Music, Movies, and Books
LOTR fan, Queen of the South (fav Netflix series). Love romcom, suspense, documentaries and foreign movies. My taste for music is very eclectic, from all genres and languages; especially house, afrohouse, Brazilian & Latin music. I’ll listen to anything you put on! Enjoy going to random festivals, concerts, gigs!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Went skiing for the first time in Hakuba, Japan accidentally on a black diamond trail (no prior lessons taken).
Teach, Learn, Share
Share travel stories, teach Spanish, Portuguese or English, or we can learn something new together together. Take you around Chicago, trendy spots and fun touristy things to do. I’m also great at taking pictures so don’t worry! (Wish I could take my own photos lol)
What I Can Share With Hosts
I’ll be a very respectful guest and help out with anything that may be needed.
