About me
Seeking quality guests as too many guests on Couchsurfing are outright rude or irresponsible -- or both. Also, too many nudists and/or sexual predators on that site. Too few female hosts.

Chicago
About me
I am usually a stay at home kind of person unless I am traveling. When I travel, I usually create an elaborate itinerary of all the things I want to do, see and experience in that country.

About me
I’m just getting back into travel and excited to explore again. I’ve lived in Chicago, Illinois for the past 10 years, and before that in Southern California. I’m really regretting throwing that awful headshot in as a placeholder photo now that I found out I can’t change it. 😭

Nina
Chicago
About me
Hi there! I'm Nina, and I've been living in the south side of Chicago for over ten years. When I'm not plotting my next adventure, I'm hanging out with my black lab mix Dracula, crafting small leather goods like wallets and keychains, practicing tie dye and going to concerts! Despite my eagerness to travel and go go go, I love watching movies and binging tv shows on the couch with my pup. I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO and when I took my first trip to Chicago in 2010, I got an overwhelming feeling of joy for experiencing new places! Since then, I've been to about half of the US states, Niagara falls in Canada, Cancun & Cozumel in Mexico. I've been able to spend some time in Scandinavia visiting Copenhagen, Stockholm, Bergen, Molde, Oslo. I love to travel to see my favorite band, King Gizzard and the lizard wizard and got to go to Lisbon, Portugal for a week and their music fest in Colorado, Field of Vision. I got the travel bug hard and I'm currently planning a return to Scandinavia with stops in Tallin, Estonia, Oslo and Stockholm for December!

About me
Hello ladies! I’m Angela and work as a registered nurse in Chicago! Currently taking a break from working and planning a trip to Rome in December & hopefully China in April! I love meeting new ladies and making new friends either here in Chicago or abroad!
Speaking
Make new friends
Meet women from around the world, share your experiences, and build friendships that make life abroad feel less lonely and much more fun.
Is Chicago safe for women?
There's definitely rougher spots, but I have lived here all my life, and I have not experienced any real danger against me. Be aware of your surroundings, but there is no need for paranoia. This is a beautiful city with so much to offer!

I go to Chicago several times a year, and I have never felt unsafe there, either during the day or at night! The police are present, the locals are helpful. Of course, it's best to avoid dangerous neighborhoods!
