About Me

Theres so many possibilities to say in a about me. I am a college student hoping to achieve an authentic and fun adventure. I love planning things but also being spontaneous. Until recently I've been dying my hair every color that there is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my semester abroad I really wanna be able to immerse myself in as many different cultures as I can to obtain the most authentic trip as I can. I love meeting new people and just leaving how despite living thousands of miles away from each other we can still be similar and different. Couchsurfing gives me the opportunity to truly experience both.

Interests

I love music, from pop, rock, to alternative and folk, really into getting a feel of local music and just anything going on around. My favorite bands are small and not very well known like this band from Arizona, The Maine and another small band called One Night Only from London. But on the opposite end I love Katy Perry, Maroon 5, and Death Cab for Cutie.

Another one of my passions in traveling, seeing what makes a city, a city, the local aspects of it and the tourist aspects. In every city there is always so much to see in so little time. Tied into that passion is food, I love to eat local food and try anything new. All that matters is its delicious. Sweets are my favorite, honestly I can eat gelato three times in one day.

In addition I love art, of all different kinds, even if its not my personal style I love to see it and just see how people interpret it different. From modern and antique to contemporary and realist. Just recently I saw a violinist Sergej Krylov and he completely blew my mind. From fine art, sculptures, dancing, acting, I am all about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone on a safari in Costa Rica above the jungle, go on a boat trip in the pouring rain where the rain felt like painful pellets, see wild animals in there natural habitat.

studied abroad in Florence, Italy for four months- putting myself out there and meeting new people.

Experienced my first snow fall in Budapest, Hungary. Walk around the city and be was in complete awe.

When I was little I went to Alaska and Canada and got to experience truly breathtaking sights.

Kayak in Hawaii and swam next to turtles.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Love sharing stories with others- listening to others and sharing my own journey and perspective. I am down to go on adventures or just do my own thing. Talking over a hot drink, or wine or beer, or drinks is my favorite thing to do. Genuinely connecting with people and talking about life. I'm an open book after a couple hours.
