My name is Julia and I'm a senior at SLU where I study English, Spanish, and Urban Poverty Studies. I'm involved in Campus Ministry as an intern and I also volunteer at an off-campus after school program for kids. I love traveling, inside the U.S. and abroad! I studied in Córdoba, Argentina during the spring semester of my sophomore year at SLU and took classes, became proficient at Spanish, and interned at a non-profit organization that provides employment and social services to young people who have struggled with poverty, incarceration, and/or addiction. After I graduate this spring, I hope to spend a year of service working at a non-profit organization and living in community somewhere I've never been before, hopefully speaking Spanish. I hope to pursue a master's degree in social work after my year of service. If it hasn't been made clear already, I'm passionate about social justice and love people!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is an awesome way to get to know new people at the same time as getting to know a new city. Being able to experience new places alongside natives seems like a really unique and cool opportunity and I can't wait to start Couchsurfing!

Музыка, кино и книги

I love Mumford & Sons, the Head and the Heart, Vance Joy, and Jack Johnson. My favorite writers are Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, and Mary Oliver. I don't watch many movies, but am a big fan of Sandra Bullock films!

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I've been to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in Argentina! People take boats from there to Antarctica during certain seasons of the year!
