I'm a broke college student just like everyone else and I have an obsession with travelling the world and seeing everything my brain can handle.

I can often be a little quiet when I meet new people but that's only because I don't know what kind of person you are yet. Once we find common ground, like movies, books, or pretty much anything we find a conversation about, I am super open and willing to talk for hours.

I know a lot of little facts about stuff that no one really cares about so prepare to hear the random reason why Vincent Van Gogh use to eat yellow paint...if you really wanna know I'll tell you ;)

I am currently studying abroad in Uppsala, Sweden until June and then I will be returning to my home university to complete my Bachelor of Arts in Interpersonal Communication with a minor in International Studies.

I do plan on completing my masters degree somewhere in Europe...still undecided.

I have been a dancer for the better part of 16 years of and I pretty much grew up in musical theatre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been travelling in Europe since January and I am JUST NOW finding out about couchsurfing, sooooo I dropped the ball.

But I'm here now!

Basically this is the coolest idea I've seen in a really long time especially because you get to meet all different kinds of people and as a tourist it's more likely that I'll see the coolest parts of the city rather than the hot spots. Not to mention it's a low cost or free option for accommodation while travelling.

Interests

I have a varied amount of interests and I can kind of find the good in anything just because it's super easy to get frazzled when tossed out of your comfort zone.

I love literature of various genres, my ultimate happy place is in a museum, art gallery, or dance studio.

Movies are my jam, except scary stuff. I'm a wuss.

I have a lot of interests in different things so I often lose track of all the stuff I like, feel free to pick my brain!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have no favorite types of music because I have a very far reaching appreciation for art of all kinds.

Buuuut to narrow it down here are some of my fav artists: Pink Floyd, Wu Tang Clan, Donny Hathaway, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Billie Holiday, and SOOOO many more.

I have the same issue with movies but once again here are some I could watch whenever wherever: Harry Potter, LOTR, The Hobbit, anything in the DC or Marvel Universe (although some of their movies are pretty awful), and pretty much any movie Edward Norton is in (yes even the Hulk, I'm a die hard fan what can I say). Also Quentin Tarantino can do no wrong in my eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really don't think I've done anything amazing....I guess coming to Sweden to study for 6 months, no one else in my family has ever dared to do anything like this, especially since I'm a first generation college student.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know how to cook.

I can dance.

And I can make you laugh.

Also, I'm pretty open with sharing whatever I have if I'm capable. We gotta help each other out.
