CURRENT MISSION

Take France and Italy one city at a time (and not get kidnapped and sold to a brothel in the process).

ABOUT ME

Bailey: A passionate, dedicated, global thinker trying to save the world one by saving one sex slave or child soldier at a time. When not brewing your coffee at Starbucks, she's the average millennial, except that most of her time is spend volunteering or raising money for a cause. She also likes Hemingway and Jasper doesn't understand why.

Jasper: Also a passionate, dedicated, global thinker who is currently majoring in French and Spanish at Yale University. He adores pandas, sign language, and trying new things, and spends his free time volunteering and reading Harry Potter in foreign languages.

PHILOSOPHY

Jasper: I believe that every individual is created equally and deserves the same rights so much that I have a tattoo to prove it. We are all human, and I do everything I can to meet new people, see new places, and live life so that when I'm old and weary I can say I did all I could.

Bailey: The best way to understand the world we live in is by getting to know the people who live here. We are all more similar than we are different.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We can't host just yet, but we'd love to in the future!

Please host us. We can teach you weird English phrases, make you a "mean" cup of coffee, or dazzle you with our sparkling personalities #eyeroll.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Jasper: couchsurfed with friends across the US, but never with strangers. Still, ready to try!

Bailey: What is couchsurfing and how do you get one?

Interests

Hemingway (Jasper: #eyerollagain), Harry Potter (Bailey: #eyerolltimesthree), Sign Language, international music, French culture, trying new foods, getting lost in cities because we have no choice (directionally challenged), hashtags, most things that won't kill and/or hurt us (even if they can).
