Hiiiii!!!

My name is Alannah. I'm originally from Chicago, I moved to Los Angeles as a teenager to become a hairdresser, and then I've been in New York for the past year hairdressing here. EDIT: Now living in Phnom Penh Cambodia teaching hairdressing

I'm a pretty charismatic person, people are usually confused that I identify as an introvert. I love having intellectual conversations, sharing meals, hearing stories, exploring obviously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a yearning to see / taste / experience as much of the world as possible

I also really want to find opportunities to teach hairdressing to people who don't have the knowledge readily available and want it EDIT: now in progress

I've seen nearly all of my own country and have never been abroad at all :( EDIT: Now I've been to Taiwan and Cambodia
