My name is Jessie, I grew up in Chicago and I an currently in School in Minneapolis, I am working on a degree in history and education with a licensure in social studies to teach grades 5-12. I have a dog named Bella. I travel quite a bit from Central America to Western Europe and now I am currently in the Middle East. I run, read, paint and play guitar. I love talking with people about their travels. I am big into community service, and learning to cook.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing because I like to see the side of a place that the locals love. In Minneapolis I have weekend plans for people who come to visit that I can mix my favorite food and places into strategically geographically and thematically. So I really enjoy seeing others views of their cities the same way I can show others my cities.

兴趣

I love to run, read, debate, play guitar, eat and learn. I just want to experience others cultures, I really love seeing the way other cultures deal with life and understanding how and why the function the way that they do.
