Hello! I'm Julia! I am enthusiastic about art, body modification, culture, nature, and people. Oh, and music….music makes me feel alive!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Iowa is such a small place and I am wanting to venture out and see the amazingness that is our planet! I recently cut down my hours at work so that I can go out and travel. I want to see things I have never seen before. I want to live!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all sorts of music!! But I guess you could say I'm kind of a metal head… You will also find me annually at Warped Tour.
I love the movie Zodiac, that is probably my favorite. Drive, Silence of the Lambs, Straight Outta Compton, and Room are a few others that I am fond of.
The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde is my favorite book!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I grew a beautiful garden on the balcony of my apartment. I planted peppers, tomatoes, basil, chives, oregano, and onions. I was able to make so much fresh food with what I had grown throughout the entire summer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can relate to a lot of people! I have overcome many hardships and love to help others overcome life's challenges.
I have an enormous love and appreciation for art! I would love to learn and work with others on paintings and drawings.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories and skills like arts and crafts and cooking!
