I'm 20 years old, and I'm from Seattle, Washington, U.S.A! I am currently working in Milan, Italy as an au pair. Before Milan, I worked in Palermo, Sicily for 3 months! I love the Italian culture, language, food, people, etc.
But I would really love to explore some other countries, too. I want to visit every country in the world before I die.
I love to meet new people and listen to their stories. I love to learn new things and see new places. (That's what travel is all about, right?)
Io parlo un po di italiano! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the adventure... to be connected with people from all over the world.

Interests

Travel is my passion... but I also love cats (and all animals) movies, food (especially pasta), video games, watching American football, playing basketball, snowy weather, Christmas, looking up at the stars, being a night owl, and meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

To keep my lists short, I'll only name 5.

Music: Yuna, Rihanna, Childish Gambino, Foster the People, AC/DC (I love everything... alternative, rap, pop, '60s/'70s rock n roll, jazz, etc)

Movies: Forrest Gump, 12 Years a Slave, The Intouchables, It's a Wonderful Life, Before Sunrise (but I love movies of all genres)

I unfortunately don't have a lot of time for reading, but I've read most of the mainstream novels.
