CURRENT MISSION

to take on new adventures.

ABOUT ME

Ciao!

My name is Marissa and I recently graduated from school in St. Louis. I am currently making the transition into adulthood (or rather pretending to).

I am laid back, silly, sassy when i want to be, love to travel, and enjoy meeting other creative kooky types.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about CS from a good friend at school who hosted a bunch of wonderful amazing guests from all over the world. This seems like great way to meet adventurous people and I am really excited to participate. I studied abroad in Florence, traveled europe thereafter, and deeply miss that spontaneous life style.

I have not hosted or surfed yet but plan on changing that very quickly!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a first timer!

Interests

Hiking, biking, cooking and creating new recipes, dancing, going to concerts, discovering new music, designing, goofing around, vegan/veggie food (although I am neither of those), and milkshakes- these are a few of my favorite things.
