I am a restless, loud, fast-talking Midwest gal who feels most at home when not at home. Extroversion level = high. I was born in the Balkans and spent some time in Germany before coming to Lincoln where I have been most of my life. A year-long trip in Australia has ruined me for a normal life because I have had a severe case of wanderlust ever since and can't seem to sit still. I have realized in the last year or so that I will most likely never lead a normal life (school, marriage, kids, retirement) and that is fine with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My job involves a lot of relocation meaning I have a need to crash somewhere for a night fairly spontaneously. Also, this seems like a good way to meet like-minded people for when I end up somewhere new.

Interests

traveling, marine life, cooking, aliens, people. Being interested in people really just means I have way too many things I get interested in.

• pets
• cooking
• traveling
• bungee jumping

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: LOTR, Mad Max Fury Road, Titanic
Music: a mixture of catchy indie pop, electronica, some hip hop, and anything with lyrics I can relate to. If I can dance to it, cry to it, or be in love to it, I am probably a fan. Lately I super enjoy ODESZA, Halsey, Hozier, Local Natives, First Aid Kit, just to name a few.
Books: it's between the Alchemist and the Passage. They are just so different from each other, you know?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've dived the Great Barrier Reef a few times. Also, I just did my third bungee jump in June.

Teach, Learn, Share

I mostly just have stories and an optimistic attitude.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been told my love of life is infectious, so there is that. Also, if you have pets, I will cuddle them.
