Copying and pasting the "about me" from my blog (www.cravetheculture.com) because I'm lazy :)

I'm a 25-year-old Wanderess on a journey to travel to 30 countries by the age of 30. Born in Denver, bloodline from Eritrea, currently living in Italy. Culturally-blended and well-seasoned by travel to 23 countries and 50 cities around America and across the world.

Travel is a teacher everyone should continue to learn from, whether it takes a two hour drive or two days of flying to get there. I am addicted to adventures, thrive off good vibes, and crave the people and cultures that color our world.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I rarely create an itinerary, often miss flights and am still in the process of learning to pack light. Not only in material things, but light of expectations of how each destination will treat me. I embrace going with the flow, being open to new things and learning about the culture of the cities by getting lost in conversations with strangers and straying away from the most popular touristic areas. Of course I enjoy those experiences as well, but there is something about living like a local that feeds my soul. The hole in the wall places I stumble upon are usually some of the most memorable times of my travels, and are more likely to give me a true sense of the city's vibes.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I listen to a little bit of everything. My current favorite "genre" is called Soulection. It's a collective of different sounds from different genres that makes music for good vibes. Search "Colors Studio" on Youtube for a sense of the style.

Favorite movie of all time is The Lion King, for obvious reasons.

My favorite book is The Alchemist, super cliché, I know lol.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I went to see the 11 churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia (although there is a 12th hidden one). It was beautiful!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I was teaching English in Spain and love Europe so much that I came back to work in Sicily, Italy for another 6 months. I love connecting with people from all over the world that I've met here.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Good vibes. & I have many stories and life experiences that I'd love to share with people. I am first generation American, but I come from an Eritrean family, so I have a different experience of growing up than many Americans.
