About Me

I am a very high spirit, energetic girl with a need for adventure. I have never travelled outside of the United States before spending these last four months studying abroad in Denmark. I am from the big city Chicago and grew up in a fast pace city environment. I have always kept myself busy with jobs, extracurricular activities, and spending time with my family.
My job has me always on the road traveling, so I unfortunately cannot host anyone right now.
Once I settle down in one spot I'll of course be accepting guests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a college student budget, but also a college student social enthusiasm level. I want to meet as many Europeans as I can while abroad from anywhere and everywhere. I had never been outside of the United States before coming to Denmark, so I want to see what the world has to offer. I want to learn new cultural norms and make friends I can visit once I leave Europe and can visit me when I go back to the USA.

Interests

Running, being outside, baking, listening to music, reading, exploring new places, eating delicious food, anything sports related. Traveling has become my new favorite hobby.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am obsessed with music and will listen to just about anything (except country music). My favorite music is alternative rock, indie, and acoustic.
I like any movie that will make me laugh or make me reevaluate my life. My favorite movie is Life of Pi.
My top three favorite books are "Perks of being a Wallflower", "Illusions", and the Uglies series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a half marathon very recently in Southern Sweden. While I had one of the most hectic four months of my life, I was able to stay committed to training and finish all 13.1 miles with a smile on my face.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I alway have a contagious positive energy that I hope will brighten my host's day. I also will not contest to share crazy travel stories I have been through, and if there's time I may bake some cookies!
