Hi I am Anna! I am in my early 20s and am currently a student at Rutgers University in the States. This year I am studying abroad at Hebrew University, which is incredible because right now I get to live in Jerusalem! I never thought I would get to say "I live in Jerusalem". Its amazing to be in a new country with new languages and new foods.

Currently I am studying to be a dancer as well as a teacher. I really hope that one day I can join a professional dance company and travel the world. Besides Dance, I love to read, learn about art, hike, and rock climbing.

If you ask any of my friends about me the first thing they will say is: Chocolate. I LOVE chocolate. It is always there for you, its sweet and makes people happy, and its very easy going. Which is actually a lot like me, I am friendly, I love to learn about people and make them happy, and enjoy the simple little things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to do more than just the touristy things in an area and really learn what it is like to live somewhere. Plus, couch surfing is such a cool way to meet new friends!

Interests

I'm interested in life. Which sounds very cheesy, but true. I honestly love learning what makes people feel passionate about life. As well as I love finding out what things I get excited for. Recently I discovered Rock climbing and am falling in love with how challenging but physical it is.

Challenges equal an adventure for me. So I like when things are not perfectly planed and therefore spontaneous things happen. Besides that, I all ready mentioned a little bit in my About Me that I love to read, dance, eat chocolate, explore nature, go climbing and hiking, being outdoors.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: My favorite music changes ALL of the time. I love the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Gaslight Anthem, Tony Bennett, anything that makes you feel good.

Movies: If it has Leonardo DiCaprio in it- I've already seen in hundreds of times. I LOVE all of his movie.

Book: Okay, reading is amazing. I just bought a book from Kurt Vonnegut which I am so excited to start reading. That being said I enjoy reading Albert Camus, Jeanette Winterson, and Jon Krakauer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've gone skydiving twice and camped in the Grand Canyons for a full week without any technology and 17 deaf and hard of hearing teenagers.
