I am a nursing student, originally from Chicago and studying in Tucson, AZ. I'm outgoing, passionate and perhaps honest to a fault. Every part of me is a contradiction to another xD

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling to France, Poland, Germany and Belgium for 6 weeks. I will be splitting my time with family, hostels, and locals from this site and hope that by doing so my experiences are authentic and show the beauty of all lifestyles lived.

Interests

I will likely need therapy after the tv show Grey's Anatomy is over.
Yoga.
Reading.
Being in the outdoors hiking and camping.
Not eating cheese.
Drinking white wine.
Traveling.
Dancing, badly.
Discussions about life, politics, food, culture, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie Folk Rock (The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men, etc).
Deep House and anything Kygo
The odd French song here and there.
Les Mis (book and movies)
Any movie that makes me both laugh and cry, even better if its at the same time.
I have read every Harry Potter book at least 4 times (except the 2nd, for some reason I hate it).
The Kite Runner
Dystopian fiction (The Giver, The Hunger Games series, Brave New World).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost died. You'll have to host me to hear the story ;D

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you a bit of Polish even though I'm not 100% fluent. Share some scientific/nursing knowledge and perspective. I danced in a Polish folk dancing group for a year so we could always do that if you knew a thing about folk dancing because I don't know enough for the two of us haha. I have a fantastic laugh, the kind that may make you laugh even more. I am always willing to criticize Donald Trump. I would love to do yoga with you.

I am eager to learn anything, particularly French because I forgot most of what I learned in 2 meager years. Although I don't know how to dance well, I love to so I would very much appreciate any help in that department.
