I am a grad student born and raised in Arizona, in the US. Still trying to find myself and figure out what I want to do with my life. I could try and write something more in-depth about who I am, but that is far too difficult a task over text. There is so much more to everyone than can be put into a small box on the internet. I much prefer active conversation.

Also, I've succumbed to the temptation of a Twitter account, if anyone is interested! https://twitter.com/pesuchinka

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I am in Europe, I would love to be able to find people with whom to make experiences. To make friends, meet locals, get an experience that hotels could never replicate. There is so much to be gained from being invited into someone's home and to share experiences and life stories across many different cultures!

Music, Movies, and Books

There is no way I can answer this in a little text box. It is much easier to discuss in person!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Perhaps not amazing to all, but amazing to me- 2 years ago I decided to spend my Summer in Russia. It was the first time in my life I had ever been outside the USA. I wish I could say that I've done something more amazing like swimming with great whites or skydiving or something, but I've never managed to do anything of the sort.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to exchange recipes and food traditions! I love cooking and baking foods of all types! I would also love to be able to give an insight into the life of an American citizen that might break the stereotypes that exist about us. I love sharing what life is like in the US, that many might not know about!
