I'm a free spirit, very independent, and care-free. I grew up in Pennsylvania, once I graduated high school, I spent my gap year abroad in Taiwan teaching English and studying Chinese. I came back to the States for college, and I'm anxious to do more travelling. I'm super easy to get a long with--I love talking to people, hearing different stories and backgrounds. I have an identical twin sister and two other brothers--a big Italian family. I love food, red wine, and black coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love meeting new people and learning about different cultures; I think Couchsurfing is a cheap and really easy way of traveling and making friends.

Interests

I'm interested in learning different languages and different ways of life. I love learning new things, and going on adventures! In my free time, I make and sell ceramic, wheel-thrown pottery. I love laughing with friends, or relaxing on the beach. I'm a big adrenaline junkie-- I like to swim, go cliff-jumping, and of course just hiking!
