CURRENT MISSION

To be as happy, inspired, and passionate as I possibly can be- travel as much as possible- and never stop being an artist.

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Jacquelyn/Jackie, whichever you prefer, and I am a sophomore at the University of Alabama, majoring in International Relations with a focus on the Middle East/North Africa. I am an Artist: I paint, dance, act, and write. I wish I could sing but sadly I can't.

I am very open-minded, laid back and up for almost anything.. Some things that I’m a fan of include: passion, art, travel, regina spektor, dance, people, frida kahlo, love, creativity, honesty, writing, morocco and peanut m&ms.

PHILOSOPHY

"When you want something with all your heart, the entire universe aspires in helping you to achieve it."
-Paulo Coelho

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am still very new to couchsurfing and am currently not in a position to host. But I have hosted once before, loved it, and hope that I can host again in the future.

So for now, just meeting people in Amman, and surfing outside of it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only had one couch surfing experience. This past summer I hosted Haniya and Jessie in my apartment in Morocco. It was a great experience.
