Hi!! I'm Khalilah, 21 years old and from Boston, Massachusetts in the US. I am a lover of everything hair and beauty related. My signature hair style is a big, kinky, curly Afro! In my spare time, I create videos on YouTube (search KhalilahKJCurls) and run a blog too. It's been an amazing outlet for me as a naturally introverted person to learn how to share what I know and meet others.
I fell in love with travelling and other cultures when studying abroad in Madrid, Spain in 2015. My ultimate goal is to visit 30 countries by the time I am 30 years old....but it's looking like I'll be way ahead of schedule.
I'm not the type of person who you'll find surrounded by 20 people. I'd rather be surrounded by a few close friends that I have an amazing connection with! Not a crazy partier but I do love a good night out with good company! I love beauty (of course), food, museums (to a certain extent), learning about other cultures, and relaxing. I'm pretty organized and keep myself together whilest travelling by using an INTENSE spreadsheet (don't judge me!).
In 2017, I am hoping to go back to university to complete another degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I also have a gray 1 year old cat named Radcliffe.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

In May 2016, I completed university a year early and decided to take a long term trip starting in Brazil. I've lived in one city for my entire life and my brief spurts of travel have made me addicted. I love staying in hostels and the energy there is amazing, but I also want the chance to view wherever I venture from a local perspective. It's important for me to understand some of the realities of life where I visit, the struggles, the joys, the history rather than getting caught up in being a tourist.

Интересы

I love making YouTube videos so I spend a ton of my time recording, editing and sharing my videos with the world. I make weekly vlogs of my life and random things I get up to, so I'm often talking to a camera in my face. It's a strange habit now, and sometimes I catch myself saying things to the camera.....but the camera is nowhere in sight.

Музыка, кино и книги

Favorite book: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Favorite Artist: Bob Marley (I have one of his lyrics tattooed onto my leg)
Favorite Movie: The entire Hunger Games series (also love the books)
Favorite TV: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
For TV, I love really goofy, silly shows. I try so hard to get into serious shows but they always end up stressing me out! TV isn't supposed to stress you out, that defeats the purpose!

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Travel through South America alone!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I really would love to learn how to cook a meal from your culture! I am quite lacking in the cooking department, being a single student who's parents still cook for her! Would love to learn/exchange a bit of your native language (if it's not English, and you are comfortable with this).

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

Always willing to share what I know about hair, makeup, English language, social media, YouTube, blogging and cats.

Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Spain, Switzerland
