I recently returned to Chicago after spending the past couple years abroad, most recently living in Brazil. I miss international life and would love to connect with travelers in Chicago. I enjoy meeting new people, exploring different kinds of music, walking cities and trails, writing, biking, and eating good food. Je parle français + eu falo português também.

Feel free to reach out xx

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've lived in lots of shared housing situations and truly believe getting to know someone over coffee in your own home is something special :)

Especially since I’m traveling alone to places I've never been, couchsurfing feels like a great opportunity to learn about where I am and form new friendships.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music! For years I hosted radio shows and I’ve always loved learning about places through music + the stories that surround different artists and songs. I’d love to hear recs of local artists you like or good spots to see live shows. Some favorites of mine: Gal Costa, Erasmo Carlos, Mereba, Adrianne Lenker, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Dijon, Jamila Woods, Oruã, Nilüfer Yanya, the Cranberries, Amyl and the Sniffers, Helado Negro.
