My name's Shélan, and I'm a musician from Chicago, IL. I love good food, scruffy dogs, and firm handshakes.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm one half of the musical duo called Swellshark, which I started with my boyfriend Henry. We're currently on our third U.S. tour, and we're in search of unique venues, cool towns, and lovely new people to stay with! We're a tiny band with a big mission, so Couchsurfing is not only fun and inspiring, but vital!

Música, películas y libros

Music-wise: Talking Heads, Kishi Bashi, Al Green, BIGBANG, Seu Jorge, k.d. lang, Big Baby D.R.A.M, and a lot more...

Henry & I recently watched GLOW and The Patriot on Netflix + Amazon, and the last thing I read was probably some weird vintage book I found at a thrift store.

I also have a major soft spot for Wallace & Gromit, the old Sherlock Holmes short stories, and Ricky Gervais podcasts. I am slightly embarrassed by the fact that all of those are incredibly British soft spots, but hey.

Algo increíble que he hecho

One time, my boyfriend and I circumvented Iceland without a car.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Henry and I are also Mechanical Engineering and Cultural Studies majors, respectively- so we really enjoy learning about/discussing science, philosophy, and other countries, viewpoints, and cultures! (But we of course love to talk about/share musical things, too.)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

We're awesome storytellers, bread-bakers, and cooks! Plus, we'd love to play some music for you. Or even better: with you!
