I'm 25 and from suburban Chicago, now living in Minneapolis. I received my BFA and a minor in psychology from Eastern Illinois University, and am trying to discover my niche in the art world. I'm a nanny for two very sweet kids (1yr and 3yrs). Live music is my jam! Anything funky, rock, blues, folk, rap, jazz along with some street food and I'm a happy girl. Also, I'm a huge animal person, every kind. I currently have cats, and my parents have had saint Bernards (among many other species, including a horse) all our lives. Just finished reading "It" by Stephen King which was so extremely long, but surprisingly inspiring. All in all, I'm very easy going despite my email address (ignore that), if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've thoroughly enjoyed my first Eurotrip so much so, that I've waited a touch too long to leave the schengen zone within 90 days. Fleeing to London (to the day, three months later) is my plan from where I'll be flying back to the US. Not upset I get to cap my adventure with an unexpected stop in the UK! Hoping to see and eat all that I can in the short time I have.

Music, Movies, and Books

"the stuff" playlist on my spotify (Laurel Caroline Rose) is a good idea of what I like for music
I like spooky, action, adventure, or thriller movies
