Hi! My name is Jalana and I am definitely new to the CouchSurfing community! I am heading to Lima, Peru to start my travel adventures and will also be new to the hostel life lol I love meeting people from all over the world and am fascinated by different cultures, food, and ideas!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hi

I have a flight to Lima, Peru on Monday and have a layover (19 hours) in Boston! I am trying to figure out the most cost-effective plan and figured I'd try this before heading to Miraflores :) Plus, it would be nice to meet people since I've never been to Boston before :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wrote an eBook that's on Amazon, Got a song I wrote signed under contract with a German indie record label, and booked a flight to Lima, Peru to start my life of traveling and seeing different cultures (I've only been on a plane once in my life at age ) lol

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm ready to LEARN!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughs and motivation! I wrote a book and have a brand called "The Dream Motivator" which talks about exactly what I have done in the last few months. I was always terrified of disapproval and felt I had to live my life according to "societal norms". I have always been a passionate and creative person and by blocking that an just working in corporate jobs I hated (and were solely for a paycheck) I blocked my happiness. Taking risks in life is scary, but I definitely love to encourage others and talk about life experiences and share stories! I would love to do that :)
