Hey! I'm Janay, I am a student at Florida State University studying International Affairs, French, and Philosophy. Very open minded and I love to learn about other cultures and people. Been on exchange in Asia for a while. Next move is a year in Germany.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people but especially locals! As a backpacker who's still in college I know the struggle of being on a budget (let's be honest some of you are here for the free couch) but of also trying to soak in every aspect of the culture as possible. What better way to do it than with locals, or at least people who know the country/city best! I've hosted and surfed and loved every bit of it!

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't really have a particular genre of music I prefer. If I hear something and I like it then I'll listen to it. I'm really into suspenseful movies and documentaries. Books I really have a preference for either, if its good and other people can vouch that it is I may or may not read it. Though I read more articles than books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once jumped into a sinkhole with some people I had just met. It was awesome, except the fact that I couldn't swim. But I swam out luckily and I recently had a laugh with one of the girls who went with me about how sketchy the whole thing was. But it was great though.
