Hi! I'm Julia. I recently graduated and moved to Chicago for an internship at the Alliance Française. I'm hoping to connect with more couchsurfers in the area :).

I love to meet people who are passionate about what they do in life; passion and happiness go hand in hand.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I think that Couchsurfing is a perfect way for people with a passion for travel to connect with one another. Travel is something everyone should get to experience, whatever their budget may be.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I went camping in the Sahara desert. Dunes are my favorite land formation because when you run down them you feel so alive. And when you're surrounded with nothing but sand you feel like you aren't even a part of the human world. Everything is so vast and wonderful.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I want to learn German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and many other languages. I also want to learn about different ways of life and different cultures by experiencing them first-hand and meeting new people.
