CURRENT MISSION

So my mission in life is to travel EVERYWHERE, literally. I want to see the world, submerge myself in other cultures, learn their languages and way of life. I want to make friends and open myself to new ideas, new experiences and the world around me.

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Samantha, I'm 27 and a college student at DePaul University. I am from south of Chicago originally and come from a very large family. I am a triplet and I love to travel. I've covered 49/50 states and have been to 10 countries with the intentions to travel to more. I am motivated to finish all 50 states, hence this profile and I am more than interested in traveling across seas. I love to sketch, hike, camp, play frisbee and rugby.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and honesty are my biggest priorities. You have to give respect to get respect. Being open and honest is what makes any real relationship work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE:

I want to provide a nice, comfy couch to travelers in Chicago. I want to Travel more myself and want to show people that a site like this can be a safe, secure option for travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had too many couch surfing experiences. A few in the city of Chicago for a weekend here and there.

Interests

I'm interested in the outdoors, camping, traveling, artsy stuff as in drawings or paintings, museums, education, social justice issues, rugby and frisbeeand the medical field. I love everything from relaxing in the sun to the adrenaline rush of falling out of a plane.
