CURRENT MISSION

To explore our new home in Green Bay!

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Brianna. I'm 23 and live in Green Bay with my beautiful girlfriend Amanda, 23, and our room mate Brandon, 23. I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, and moved to North Dakota in 2008. I've been working here in a coffee shop and a Thai restaurant and going to school. Majoring in linguistics, learning American Sign Language. I'm taking some time off from school at the moment to travel and enjoy my youth a bit... I'm hoping to relocate to the west coast to finish my schooling next year. I took a few years of Spanish and French in high school, ASL in college, and Amanda has done a little dabbling in Japanese and she wants to learn more. Amanda lived in Fargo her entire life - until our recent move to GB for her job - and is eager to travel as well! We love music, watching movies, reading, taking pictures, smoking hookah, and so much more. We are always up for a quiet night in, or an adventure on the town. We are in our early 20s, so we like drinking on kitchen floors with friends and on the grass outside when the weather is nice enough. The bars downtown are nice, too. Anything you'd like to know about us... ask! We love to chat and meet new people. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Always thinking and reevaluating. I really love to hear others' ideas and thoughts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My girlfriend Amanda and I have our own apartment now in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and we are excited to welcome couch surfers for a visit, a night on the town, or just a nice chat over a cup of coffee. We are also planning to travel throughout Europe and possibly Japan in the years to come... we are just as excited to meet and stay with interesting new people in strange cities we can't wait to explore!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In January we visited Amsterdam and stayed with a wonderful couple, Merel and Cor, for one night. They were very gracious and we'd hope to see them again in the future.

Interests

Pretty much anything! Reading, watching movies, live music, picture taking, smoking hookah, drinking, light bicycling (just for fun and not at the same time, of course).

Music, Movies, and Books

Brianna:Music: I will give anything a try, really. I find that seeing an artist live absolutely changes the way I see them, and in fact, how much I appreciate their music. Definite likes worth mentioning: Ani Difranco, Rilo Kiley (Jenny Lewis in general), Tegan & Sara, Florence + The Machine, Neko Case, Cake, Lana Del Rey, Stars, She & Him, Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, Iron & Wine, Atmosphere, The Black Keys, Drake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Pepper, The Beatles. I could go on for days, really.If you'd like to know more about my music, you can go here:http://www.last.fm/user/ashammaMovies: Lost and Delirious, Lost in Translation, Stepbrothers (and most other Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly/Judd Apatow movies), Eternal Sunshine, Saved, 500 Days of Summer, Resident Evil, the Saw series (I enjoy a good horror flick).As for books, let's do authors instead: Patricia Cornwell, Richard Dawkins, Michael Crichton (Timeline is probably my favorite book ever), Anne McCaffrey, Kay Jamison, Rilke, Whitman.Amanda is into a wide variety of musical tastes as well. She favors rap... but trust me, don't judge her on that! She has excellent taste. Her favorite movie is The Notebook.
