Personal DescriptionWell I am an American girl, married to an Italian so we have this crazy, beautiful, cross cultural marriage going on. I love Italy, but Italian food more. I enjoy drinking wine, discovering new cheeses (Brie addiction currently unfolding) and trying food I think is taboo (horse: see pic above). I love reading, walking, sightseeing, animals and learning. I swear I could be in college for the rest of my life. I am struggling with Italian, I think learning this language is the hardest thing I have ever done! I love coffee, shopping and dreaming of future travel destinations. I have lived in Spokane, Seattle, Rome and now Verona-which I like the best so far. I am very honest and tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
How I Participate in CSI have been an ambassador in Rome and in Verona but now I am taking some time off to concentrate on school and Italian life. I try to host as much as I can, but I focus on quality (instead of quantity) in my CS experiences. I really examine profiles to determine if we would be a good match. But I am always here to give a helping hand!

I have an obsession, you could say, with the 1980s. Even though I was born in 83, I think I was meant for that decade. I try to keep it alive through slang such as: Tubular, Bogus, Radical, Ace, Amped, Bangin', Betty, Bomb, Bounce, Chillin, Fly, Freak and Gnarly to name a few. If I had my way, the world would been seen through an acid wash filter, Rainbow Brite would be more than a Halloween costume, Alf would still be on TV and everyone's favorite pet would be a rock.PhilosophyTry to live as happily as possible, love as much as you can, keep learning and don't take yourself too seriously.Music, Movies, BooksMusic: ok go, matisyahu, lilly allen, jt, timbaland, the killers, the kooks, death cab for cutie, nirvana, price, fleetwood mac, placebo, tegan and sara, kelis, lil jon, fat man scoop, shakira, outkast, black eyed peas, the shins...Types of People I enjoyI like people from far off places in hopes they will teach me about their culture and way of thinking.

Teach, Learn, ShareI have an "interesting" version of the robot dance if anyone wants to see it.
 One Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneI got married to the perfect guy (it was the robot dance but he will never admit it!)

From Ariyani Laksito Melbourne, Australia Sep 12, 2008 Positive Jessica is great! She couldn't host me when I was in Verona but offered to meet up for lunch instead.

From PINKENDER Melbourne, Australia Aug 30, 2008 Positive Thankfully for me Jess was really flexible with her hosting which made my one night in Verona turn into 3. She introduced me to other CSs and we hit it off great especially once we were into the streets of Verona. Some of the craziest convos too. Her Chinchilla is the cutest! Plus her couch is super comfy. You´re a darl.
From Lori Caldwell Montpelier, United States Aug 28, 2008 Positive It was a total pleasure to meet Jessica. Though she was not my couchsurfing host, she showed me around Verona, drank and laughed with me and basically helped to make my time there a great experience. She's hella sweet! Hope to see you again, Jessica! You are welcome in Vermont anytime.
*UPDATE*
So, through some unfortunate events, I got the wonderful opportunity to spend time with Jess again and to meet her wonderful and generous-spirited husband, Daniele. It was great and even better because it gave Jess and I the chance to talk more and to become more than couchsurfing friends, but friend-friends. I cant wait to see her again in the states. Keep in touch, girl!
From Michael L. Paris, France Aug 27, 2008 Positive Woaw Jessica! This (Italo-)American girl is soo cool!!
