Hey there! My name's Michelle-reigning from a suburb right outside Chicago, I now live in Melbourne, Australia. I have spent the last 5 years balancing my time between traveling and studying, and have set up camp in a few different places including Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Sevilla, and now Australia!

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I love to travel, and I think you get even more out of a city when you get a local point of view. I want to know where the best place to go in the morning for coffee and the best brunch. As much as I love traveling, I don't love touristy things. Traveling is all about the people you meet, and the experiences you share together, so what better way to learn and share than by staying with a local?

Musica, film e libri

Music: Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons, Hozier, MisterWives, anything by Nicholas Hooper or part of any movie score
Movies: I'm terrible at watching movies, any movie that everyone else has seen, I haven't. So I apologize ahead of time for that, but I did recently see The Theory of Everything and quite enjoyed that. It's a work in progress
Books: Anything by Julio Cortázar, Sapiens: A History of Humankind, Alice Hoffman books, Philipa Gregory books, Harry Potter, The Book Thief, and countless others I can't think of right now. If you have any suggestions-let me know! I'm always looking for a new book!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

My first solo trip was in Peru a little over 2 years ago, and while there I got to watch the sun rise through the fog over Machu Pichu with a herd (pack?) of llamas.

Insegna, impara, condividi

Learn about your culture and what your story is, and share lots of my own stories, yummy food, and hopefully some laughs.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Lots of stories and hopefully some food! I've picked up a few recipes along the way, and more stories than I can even remember. I also have a pretty advanced level of Spanish, if you want to practice I'm always happy to do so!
