About Me

**ABOUT US!

Hey yo! It's Emily & Laurel, coming at you from good ole Chi town! We are two 27 year old young professionals (but hippies at heart) that explore our city by dancing through it! We love catching live music, cooking, drinking (usually wine but we don't discriminate), blasting Abba and dancing around the kitchen, serenading Dexter (Laurel's "cat" who is actually just a big old floofball of loving), playing card games, talking about things both big and small, reading, Netflix binging, and just walking around town!

We are very fun loving and relaxed people and welcome all forms of life. We do not discriminate, however, Laurel is looking to learn/improve her Spanish, and I would love someone to speak to in French to so I don't lose everything I learned living in the south of France four years ago! But, that is just a preference, and everyone, from all walks of life, is welcome :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Four years ago, Emily lived in Montpellier, France, and couch surfed her way through Paris, Berlin, & Amsterdam. A year later, she moved to Australia, and had the pleasure of being hosted by other lovely couchsurfers in Melbourne! It is now time to return the favor and have the pleasure of hosting other wanderers :)

Laurel loves meeting new people and loves learning things from different perspectives. It didn't take any convincing to get her on board- in fact she has reminded me daily for the last week to get this up and running again! We want to meet new people, learn new ideas, and party with you in Chicago!

Interests

dancing, drinking (wine, beer, tequila, anything), we are 420 friendly (discussing highdeas hehe), hosting people, conversations, poetry, literature, music, cooking (mostly vegetarian and we have been trying to go vegan), reddit, animals, thrift/vintage shops, board games (so many great bars in Chicago with board games!), beercades, anything French.

We welcome people with interests similar to ours, but also different, so that we can learn new things!

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmm for music we love 60s, 70s, 80s. Beatles, the Doors, Grateful Dead, Johnny Cash, Abba, have all been played in our apartment recently. Others: Amy Winehouse, LCD Soundsystem, Lorde, Goldfish, Odeza. Theres a great Chicago band called Dos Santos Anti Beat Ocquestra that's mariachi and funky that we have seen three times each so far in Chicago. We listen to pretty much anything except.

For books, we have been reading poetry (just finished Rupi Kaur milk & honey), non-fiction, women's lit, historical fiction, literary fiction, again, thrillers, again we don't really discriminate!

TV: BROAD CITY!! Insecure, Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, Portlandia, Modern Family, Dexter, just to name a few
