Overview
About Me
Hello!
I am a quirky, shy 26 year old girl who has always wanted to see the world! I went to New York by myself for five days a few years back and was pretty proud of myself. But I really crave seeing new cultures, new ways of life, meeting awesome people, and doing something totally crazy (for me).
I'm really hoping to break out of my comfort zone on my journey - and break out of my shell. I'm really going to push myself to be more outgoing so i don't miss any great connections along the way.
Reading is my passion, I always have a book on me. I read anything that interests me but i have a special place for horror novels.
Right now I rent a house with my sister and her fiance. My friend stays with me too, sleeping on my floor.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
