Ciao there! I'm Shelby and I'm currently living a year abroad in Bologna, Italy.

The coolest part about living abroad is constantly being surrounded by different cultures and luckily, I'm fortunate enough to get out and explore all the different cultures and places here in Europe. Hopefully, I'll be able to afford my wanderlust for the rest of my life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience a bit of travel even when I can't.

Interests

Cooking, writing, traveling, learning about new cultures, watching strange indie movies on Netflix and being outdoors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have assimilated into a new culture, live my life in a different language every day and once climbed a mountain in Slovenia for 12 hours...it was rough, but so worth it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to teach others a bit about myself through my love for cooking and culture. I'd like to hear all the fun stories from traveling and just life in general from my fellow international travelers and I would like to share my passion for passing on good travelers karma for all of you xxxx

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good meal, alcoholic beverages, and great conversation (or so I've been told).
