Currently an exchange student at the University of Leicester! Back home I study Theatre Education, Acting, and History at Illinois State University.

I mostly travel with my friend, Brooke. Here is her profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/brooke-anderson-4

Neither of us have traveled outside of America before January, so we are very eager to learn about every city and country we visit, including the people, culture, history, all of it! For us, this means stretching our comfort zones and trying new things. Adventure awaits!

We are both theatre majors, so we're very outgoing and friendly! We love hearing stories and telling them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn and experience new cultures, and make lifelong friends. This community is unique and beautiful, and we can't wait to get more involved in it.

Brooke and I made profiles with the intentions of traveling sensibly and connecting with people who are good-hearted and open minded.

Music, Movies, and Books

I still listen to the cheesy music I grew up with. My friends particularly make fun of my Alanis Morisette obsession. My favorite movies are the ones that make you laugh and cry, but mostly cry. It's very cliche to love Harry Potter, but I can't help it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Embarking on a five week journey throughout Europe would have to be at the top of the list. Aside from that I've helped raise my younger siblings and decided to expand my degree from education to include history and theatre. My twin sister is my favorite person in the world. Being her twin is the most amazing thing that has happened to me. I haven't done too many amazing things yet but I'm ready to change that!

Teach, Learn, Share

My favorite thing to do is listen and learn. I love to share stories and make friends. I have only explored England, but I have loved seeing London, Liverpool, Bristol, Bath, Nottingham, Birmingham, and Keswick. I hope to see Dublin, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Brussels, Bruges, Barcelona, Florence, Venice, Cinque Terre, Rome, Santorini, and Edinburgh before I head back to the U.S.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share mine and Brooke's hopes for experiences and adventures on our travels. We would both love to talk about America and how our states differ, our cultures and experiences we had growing up in America. We absolutely will clean, do dishes, and whatever else you would need!
