Hi I'm Mia! I started couchsurfing in Europe and wanted to continue when I returned to the US. I had a great time meeting people, hearing their stories, and having adventures that turned into stories of my own. I currently live in Carrboro, North Carolina where I work as a line cook at a restaurant. I grew up in New Jersey, then studied Dietetics at University of Vermont in Burlington and came to North Carolina to get my Masters in Public Health and Nutrition. I enjoy cooking for friends, eating out, exploring, thrift shopping, going for walks, hiking, biking, and people watching. I also dance, knit, and crochet and I have a lovely black and white cat named Yzma.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
