I'm very motivated to see the world and experience as many different cultures and places (and food) as I can. I hope to one day be an international journalist and short story writer. I'm studying Cognitive Science in Santa Cruz, CA as a sophomore. I love to get outside my comfort zone and share some stories !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My boyfriend and I are planning to backpack Europe this summer beginning August 18 to September 15. Our plan is to stay in Paris, Spain(Barcelona, Salamanca, Valencia), Switzerland(Interlaken), Italy(Florence, Rome, Cinque Terre, Venice), Austria (Vienna), Hungary(Budapest), Czech Republic(Prague). We are hoping to do the entire trip (or most of it) by couch surfing. So any assistance would be great!

Interests

I love all types of movies my favorite director is Woody Allen. I am eager to learn any hands on skill that I can (ie cooking, pottery, construction, gardening). So if you have a skill you're eager to teach I would be more than excited to learn! I love beaches, Italian food, white wine, backpacks, sail boats, and trains. I love a good party/club but completely content with a good book and a nice dog.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I have not done much traveling yet, I am very eager to learn and experience all that I can. I'm an avid movie watcher and story teller. Novice chess player and cook/baker. I would love to share stories and some passionate ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a subscriber to leaving a place cleaner than how we found it. I hope to help with cooking and cleaning whenever our host would like. I can offer a refreshing motivation for exploring and a young appreciation for the little things.
