My name is Marisa and I am 22 years old. I graduated from the University of Iowa, where I studied biochemistry and psychology. I love to dance on my living room table with my roommate. I clean when I get stressed out. I love to bake and cook, trying new recipes as often as I can. I am a sucker for bad puns. I have a mild addiction to chocolate and love to watch scary movies... even though they give me nightmares. I am currently in the middle of my gap year before attending medical school, and am trying to live life and explore as much as possible during this time.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have spent my entire life living in the Midwest. When I went to college, I began traveling on my own and my eyes were opened to amazing new cultures. I realized that there was so much more to life than just what I have experienced thus far. I don't want to go through my life unaware. I want to travel and meet new people and hear their stories. I want to live a life full of journeys, to have my own collection of stories to tell.

兴趣

Being in nature and exploring new sites are my fondest memories. I enjoy the outdoors whether it be snowboarding, cliff diving, hiking, scuba diving, camping- I love it all! I also enjoy playing the piano, reading whenever I get the chance, and watching TEDTalks. Basically, I love to learn new things, see new things, experience new things!

音乐、电影和书籍

I am an avid Harry Potter fan and have read the series over 20 times. It always gave me the sense of wonder and taught me to see magic in everyday life.
I love listening to alternative and indie music or anything else that is relatively unknown! I think it reflects my personality in the fact that I love discovering things and relishing in the experience of the new and unknown.
