About Me

Hi! I'm Bibiana. My friends, Garrett, Bobi, and I are traveling Europe for the summer. We all decided we wanted to spend some time expanding our horizons, experiencing new cultures, meeting interesting individuals, and of course indulging in the cuisines of the world. The thought of adventure is enamoring, and I have come to enjoy spontaneous trips. With that, three of us agreed to buy Eurail passes and explore a handful of countries within the month of July and August. Garrett and I both happen to have family in Europe. While I grew up visiting mine, he has only been told stories about his family and heritage in Italy. So, this trip is more than just a bunch of random young adults looking to be your cliche American Tourists. We're connecting to our loved ones, while we have the opportunity, and making memories that many people don't get the chance to. Between the three of us we are a hoot! Garrett loves to cook; Bobi and I have been known to enjoy a few nights of dancing; we don't take long awkward pauses in our conversations; most importantly we all enjoy the little things. None of us want to get caught behind the screens of our devices. We want to witness the world with our own eyes, and enjoy every moment we have together in places.

I am sure everyone says this about themselves, but it doesn't hurt to express a few qualities about us. We are respectful, easy going, tolerant, outgoing, exciting individuals. We can hold decent and intellectually stimulating conversations. If you're looking to meet some people with interesting stories to share, and want to bring some fun new faces on your journey through life, then you've found the right group :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I mentioned above, the three of us are traveling through Europe and need places to stay as we move around. Couchsurfing gives us the opportunity to meet up with locals who have some idea of exciting things to do in their home country. Not to mention how enriching of an experience it is to meet and share stories with people from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bibi: I arise seeing eye puppies. And there is no better feeling then being able to give somebody the freedom to live their life without limits.

Bobi:

Garrett: I created and led the "RISE for the Homeless" drive, which was a collection of donated goods that my college Honors Club and other peers used to assist over 130 Homeless people and organizations in our community.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Hopefully we can teach you how to laugh more, if not we can teach you how odd a group of close friends can be (in a good way :))!

Learn: Honestly, we all still have a lot to learn, but I'm hoping this trip will help us realize how connected we are as people; even if we live on different continents.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share our life experiences, our love for the world, our will to try new things, and hopefully our ability to make others feel like they're part of our family. We can cook you a good meal too!
