Hi! My name's Jessilyn, 22 year old from Miami, Fl. I recently graduated from university and decided to take a small break and return to Europe as an au pair. I'm currently au pairing in Italy, and am dedicating ALL my free time to traveling Italy, and Europe with my other au pair friends. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going to be honest, I use to think couch surfing was this dangerous thing that no one should do, but as I've grown and matured I've come to see the beauty in it. How great is it to be able to travel to different places and be hosted by people from those cities who can tell you more about the area, and potentially just add to your trip and make it even it better. It's a win win situation!

Interests

I obviously love traveling, but I'm also SUCH a family gal. I love spending time with my family in Miami, and every once in a while my friends. I'm also an avid reader, and a show buff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't really think of one specific amazing thing, I think I've experienced a lot of great things throughout my life. I guess something that has greatly impacted my life is having lived in several different countries when I was younger. I was born in New York, so I lived there a while, then we moved to Puerto Rico, after that we moved to the Dominican Republic, after that Mexico, and then we finally settled down in Miami. We had to travel a lot because of my father's job, But they finally decided to let him stay in the good ol' 305.

What I Can Share with Hosts

This might sound a bit cheesy, but I'm such a sociable person and just really open, so I think that I will be great company. We can share personal stories about our life and potentially stay in touch even after my trip is over. I'm not shy, and I don't plan to ever be hosted and be awkward and uncomfortable. I think whoever ends up hosted will have a good laugh, and we can share some great moments together.
