About Me

ABOUT ME

I am very outgoing and love meeting new people. I live by the motto, "Why would you ever want to be normal." I'm in my Junior year at University and love every second of it. I am a Communications major with an Italian minor. Crocs may be hideous, but they sure are comfortable. Currently studying abroad in Florence, Italy. I have fallen madly in love with travel, and I hope to become a Study Abroad Coordinator for college students. One of my favorite quotes has been from this semester, my professor said, "Art is biological we all have the need to create." Amen to that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet locals in their home city/town. I think seeing life from a locals point of view is more interesting and gives a whole new outlook to the destination. Meeting friends along the way is just an added bonus!

Music, Movies, and Books

Too hard of a question. There are so many!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Barcelona for a music festival. Stayed in a hostel where I met some incredible people with amazing souls, and so much kindness. I danced on the beach under the moon with new friends while watching the sunrise. Gave me faith that travel is truly what it means to be alive.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always learning. Learning for the sake of learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Life is all about moments. The happiest moments are when you step back and look at how amazing life can be. I would love to share stories, food, laughter and most importantly share some really incredible moments.
