Hello, my name is Marcidale but you can call me Marci! I'm a traveling college student so unfortunately, I can't open my home to you. However, if you ever stumble across SoCal, specifically the San Bernardino County area during the holidays, I'm your gal. I am studying Business Administration with an emphasis in International Business so as a requirement I'm abroad traveling around Europe as of the moment (I'm learning German). I'm a huge foody, if you want to discuss over the taste, texture, and experience over a dish, you came to right person. I LOVE DOGS, so if you have a dog, I'd even be more stoked to meet you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of learning different cultures and meeting new people by being welcomed into their home. I think it's great that there's such an open community willing to share their humble abode. I know I have a lot to learn about the World but I found that it's tremendously more fun when learning it from the experiences of others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
- My taste of music varies, I listen to some Pop but I generally go for the feel food, happy go-lucky Pop-Indie.

Movies
- Howl's Moving Castle is my all time favorite, love the X-Men and Transformers series, and up for any tear jerker. I'm open to most genres but absolutely avoid Supernatural Horror, thriller are great but no thanks on the ghost stuff.

Books
I don't get the chance to read for pleasure that often, but I have enjoyed reading In the Grip of Grace by Max Lucado and Working with Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An amazing thing I've done would be raising the most amount of money in my district for hungry children in Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach
I can teach you how to make the easiest and creamiest Flan
(Cooking and Baking is fun for me so I'd be down to do either one as an activity)

Learn
I'm currently learning German so if you can I'd be awesome if you could give me some pointers. I also love learning about different life stories as well so feel free to share yours!

Share
