Hi! I'm Julia. I recently graduated and moved to Chicago for an internship at the Alliance Française. I'm hoping to connect with more couchsurfers in the area :).

I love to meet people who are passionate about what they do in life; passion and happiness go hand in hand.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I think that Couchsurfing is a perfect way for people with a passion for travel to connect with one another. Travel is something everyone should get to experience, whatever their budget may be.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went camping in the Sahara desert. Dunes are my favorite land formation because when you run down them you feel so alive. And when you're surrounded with nothing but sand you feel like you aren't even a part of the human world. Everything is so vast and wonderful.

教，学，和分享

I want to learn German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and many other languages. I also want to learn about different ways of life and different cultures by experiencing them first-hand and meeting new people.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share what it is like to be from Ohio (quite possibly the least interesting state ever, haha). I would also love to share stories.
