Howdy!

I am a 25 year old professional female living in the UK for a year rotation with work. My dad's German heritage are responsible for my ridiculously long surname and my mom's Italian heritage for my obsession with cannoli.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My cousin recommended I join when I told him I was moving to the UK. I want to make friends and explore this neck of the woods.

Know that I'm up to hang out and/or respect your space and go wander on my own, whichever suits you best.

My *newbie* CS philosophy: Make a damn good first impression

I am still searching for housing in Nottingham, but once I have a place, I will open it up to visitors to Robin Hood country, hence not accepting guests at the moment:/

Interests

Hiking, walking, yoga, skiing, laying by the beach, enjoying a fabulous meal accompanied by a glass of wine or brew, traveling/wandering, concerts, live music, art exhibits, pretty much anything out in the sunshine. When it's raining, Catan and Euchre monopolize my time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books - Currently: Travel hacker guides

Music - Anything in an outdoor venue: Country(Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line), Alternative(Saving Abel), Pop? (Ed Sheeran)

TV Shows - I haven't subscribed to cable since college and don't really miss it. I'm a proud binge watcher. House of Cards, Friends, House Hunter's International to name a few. I hate being teased by just one episode without the option to watch the next right away, but will tolerate it for GOT and the Bachelor.

Movies - Scary movies keep me up all night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a couple of 14ers in the Rocky Mountains. (What's a 14er? A mountain who's peak rises above 14,000ft!)

I like to SURPRISE people and be thoughtful about my gifts, so don't want to give too much away here;)
