Hi! My name is Jessica and I'm 22 years old. I recently graduated university with a bachelors degree in English and two minors in history and business. I'm currently backpacking around the world while I figure out what I want to do with my life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love meeting new people and learning about their lives! I think Couchsurfing is an incredible idea because it allows people to exchange ideas, lifestyles, and cultures. Learning things about others, as well as myself, is the whole reason I'm traveling!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music! I especially enjoy pop, alternative, and after coming to Latin America, reggaeton!

My favorite movies are the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Harry Potter, Dead Poets Society, and Alice in Wonderland (the live action Tim Burton one, not the cartoon)

My favorite books are the Harry Potter series (of course), 1984 by George Orwell, Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta, A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James, and Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur (I've recently become a fan of reading poetry)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided to leave home to travel internationally for the first time by myself!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help in learning English. I want to learn about your life, your city, and your culture, and I can teach you about mine!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, good laughs, and I'd be more than happy to cook a typical American dinner for you sometime :)
