Country Brazilian pansexual he/they living in Chicago for 5 years. I DJ Latinx music with house and techno, and I am a content writer for a social determinants of health research center (woke public health in other words lmao). I love dancing, occasionally reading, wish to improve my Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Frankly, traveling without knowing people is boring and often meaningless. Best moments is definitely when you find connection with like-minded people in new places, and Couchsurfing speeds up that process a little bit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got a full ride scholarship to study at the University of Chicago! Corny I know but I’m still proud since that’s what got me out of Brazil for the first time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very open to sharing Brazilian culture and Portuguese language, plus Chicago house music. Would love to learn more about Latin American Spanish language and culture.

Would be happy to share foods and drinks, chats, maybe going out together could be cute.
