Hi! I'm Acacia Bailey! I am studying elementary education. I like to first define myself as a follower of Jesus Christ. I have been on a rollercoaster of learning what it means to deny myself and to put other’s needs above my own. I also have been pursuing art ever since I can remember and hope to pursue creativity for the rest of my life. I especially love teaching others about art and encouraging them to do it too! I do not easily become tired, and that allows me to live up to my name of being spontaneous and adventurous. You will never find me in bed on a Saturday when the day could be used for exploring! I am very passionate about trying new things and going to new places. I love to travel. I have a passion for people and strive to be someone who loves well and makes individuals feel like they have importance in the world. I hope to be remembered as a joyful, kind and positive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing because I might find myself in a sticky situation sometime while traveling and need a place to stay. While traveling, I desire to gain an authentic cultural experience that one cannot find if they stay in hotels. I think it would be great to learn about a place from a local's perspective.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am passionate about film, traveling and trying new things. So I have developed a passion to chase down the cities of my favorite movies. So far I have been to Los Angles (La La Land), New Orleans (Princess and the Frog), Chicago ( Ferris Bueller) and I plan to go to more places like London and New York! I love seeing my favorite films come to life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my love for art, adventure, film, curiosity, spontaneity and silliness. I can share my optimisim and positive spirit. I can share my love for Jesus and how far he has brought me. I can teach about the knowledge I have gained from pursuing art. I would love to learn about the history of places I have and haven't been! I have a passion for history and learning!
