Hi! As you can seem my name is Zoe and I'm currently living in downtown Chicago. I attend the University of Illinois at Chicago and should be finishing up my undergrad in Biology in 2017! Once I graduate I plan on become a high school teacher and maybe even teaching abroad. Also being a college student with less money I did not choose to verify myself but Im hoping to do that when I am once again employed! I have lived in Chicago my entire life and would love to show others why it is so special :]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of helping people find an affordable way to explore a city as well as meet people from around the world. I have already met wonderful people during my time abroad and this seems like a way for people to connect.

Interests

I love to play tennis, read, and obviously travel. I also have a Pomeranian puppy named Millie who I absolutely adore.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Anything and everything! I love fantasy to historical fiction to the classics. I already have two bookshelves full and need to find more space in my apartment!
Music: I generally like a good mix of music. My favorite artists are Ed Sheeran, Matchbox 20, Train, Maroon 5(more their older music), Queen, Styx, etc.
Movies: I am a huge cheesy ball and love watching romantic comedies

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I study abroad in Siena, Italy for 6 weeks which I can hands down say was one of the best experiences. I was able to met new people and actually become part of the city culture rather then just be a guest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my love of travel and my somewhat limited knowledge of cooking. Also I can show adorable pictures of my puppy :]
