I'm an american born that grew up in a small state capital in Midwest Brazil. I dropped from Law School cuz I didn't even know I was there, then I took a time in Europe and now I found my place here in Chicago.

Words from someone that experienced it:
This is the best place to Couchsurf in Chicago.

My housemate Emanuel is a longtime traveler and couchsurfer: here is a link to his profile

Our neighbor (my first CS host) is one of the biggest hosts around, he has been dedicating his life to CouchSurf and just reached for his 500 guest. So if we dont have a place in our house we can manage something.
We always have somebody around, maybe even around 10-20 ppl to do some kind of party, huge talk or a simple dinner.

I m busy on tuesdays and thursdays but I m totally free on other days, I always like to walk around and I can show whatever you wanna see if I m available and If I m not, Emanuel might be able to

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, hearing new stories, sharing conversations!
Most people that are on CS are of an amazing kind, the few experiences that I had, I shared a lot of interesting and different stories from the different kind of people.

It is all about sharing, you give a couch and this person the company and there goes on

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was running to catch a hostel in time in London, and a 7 y/o boy jumped in front of me, selling lemonade and cards. He told me "you looks sad and tired, get a card for free!" I said that I was hurrying, he demanded me to take a card and I laughed, so he said "now you don't look sad, why don't you buy a lemonade, so you won't look tired"
After this, I never been sad anymore
