I'm Jodie! I love talking to people and exploring parts of cities that tourists don't usually go to. I consider myself a friendly, outgoing person and I love to strike up conversations with new people all the time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of couchsurfing. I've never used it before, but I have friends who swear by it. I'd much rather meet new people, share experiences, and learn new things than be in a hotel or hostel by myself.

Interests

I'm obsessed with theatre. I have a soft spot for animals (especially dogs) and children. I love singing, tap dancing, knitting, photography, people-watching, harmonizing, and many other things that I can't think of at the moment.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - musical theater, folk/pop/indie (mostly acoustic stuff)

Movies - Little Miss Sunshine, Disney, Moulin Rouge,

Books - I don't read as much as I would like, but that's what traveling on buses/planes/trains is for! Anything Shakespeare, The Bell Jar, The Color Purple, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Harry Potter

I'm always looking for recommendations, so feel free to send them my way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've swam in the Dead Sea and hiked Masada in Israel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will gladly take care of your animals and watch your children!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope I can become good friends and keep in touch with every host I encounter. And then they (you) will have a place to stay wherever I'm living... which I guess is the point of couchsurfing :)
