Just a kind, tidy gal solo traveling. I’m an excellent house guest and I love to chat or be quiet, whatever the mood entails. I’m quite silly and I can get along with anyone. Sometimes I’m quiet because I am thinking too much, and sometimes I think that makes me appear rude but I promise I have good intentions!!!! I can’t wait to meet you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m learning that the most beautiful thing about traveling is sharing moments with strangers that quickly become friends. This community allows fellow travelers to meet easily and I trust that the people I cross paths with were meant to do so ❤️

Interests

I love socializing and having quiet time as well, I love sharing food and wine, cooking and baking, learning new skills, practicing Italian, listening to stories (not a good storyteller myself), hiking, beaches, surfing, anything outdoors, live music and dancing!! I’m up for anything.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love indie rock and folk music, 90’s alternative rock, Father John Misty (lyrics ❤️), Tame Impala, Palace, Gino Paoli (when I am sad in Italy), many many others- always looking for new music- and I love live music. Movies- Donnie Darko, 50 first dates, A Lot Like Love, Surf’s Up, Dan in Real Life, etc, etc. Love any dramatic novel with embellished writing aka Pat Conroy from South Carolina. Also love survival tales/memoirs. My favorite book is Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts- a must read for a traveler. I’m a romantic at heart- all of my choices in art reflect this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided I wanted to solo travel to Italy and went through with it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, but lack confidence coming from silly old America. I came here to learn authentic Italian recipes but I’m curious about gastronomy from all over the world. Even more so, I love to learn about the culture surrounding food and the way it is eaten, shared, etc. We can learn from eachother perhaps!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ll happily do dishes, sweep floors, fold laundry, grocery shop. If you need something, I’m happy to help.

I am a romantic girl and I can’t wait to make new friends- but don’t mistake me- I am not staying in your home so I can have sex with you. Romance will bud out of the right circumstances but it can’t be forced!!
