Personal Description

Well 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.

My creation

How I Participate in CS

I 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!

CouchSurfing Experience

Have surfed with:
Paul and the Thundera Collective in London
Sabba in London
Max in Rome
Katie in USA
Daniele in Italy
Michele in Verona
Paul again in London

Have hosted:
Agi and Izabella from Hungary
Sabba and Rebeca my Brazilian BFF's
Juliana from Brazil
Gabrielle from Australia
Skye from Hawaii
Emily from England
Alida from Australia
Eli from Australia
Lori from Vermont
Mel from Australia
Lisa from USA
Liana from USA

Interests

art: drawing, painting
exercising (this a new new interest and is a work in progress)
sightseeing
eating
wine
drinking spritz (preferably Aperol)
laughing
watching movies with Italian subtitles (in the hopes I learn something)

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.

Philosophy

Try to live as happily as possible, love as much as you can, keep learning and don't take yourself too seriously.

Music, Movies, Books

Music: 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 enjoy

I like people from far off places in hopes they will teach me about their culture and way of thinking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an "interesting" version of the robot dance if anyone wants to see it.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

I got married to the perfect guy (it was the robot dance but he will never admit it!)

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

I love the idea of couchsurfing! What an awesome way to meet people and learn about other cultures!

Although I met Jessica only shorty for couple of drinks I had feeling that I know her longer. I had a great time talking with her, especially about her impressions about Europe.
Hope you will visit once Amsterdam instead of London :)

I met Jessica during an usual meeting in Carega bar (Verona) with other CS. Initially she appeared to me such as shy, but... after our first chat... I got what a kind of person she is. Nice, clever and smiling. Always ready to help people. I'm very happy to share moments with her. Highly reccomended.

Jessica was a very kind host to me for a few nights in Verona. We had brilliant fun! Verona has an awesome couchsurfing social network and we spent a couple nights roaming about town with a very international group of kids.. The highlight was definitely learning Scottish dances in Piazza Signora after a few glasses of wine ;) Thanks for pasta, wine, and the couch Jessica!

When I arrived home I found out that she is an ambassador of Verona and Jessica is absolutely perfect for that. She is a very active CS-member and quite experienced.
Very helpful, friendly and world-opened girl, always in a good mood. She always took care of me. Jessica gave me her jacket, because it was soooo cold in Verona and I even got some great new shoes, thanks a lot. We've had also a nice dinner and were talking about many things in fantastic bars in Verona. Unfortunately I can't vouch for the moment... You are welcome everytime in Germany, I really hope to see you in Bremen. Have fun :-)
Hope my english is ok...

MY GRANOLA FRIEND!!! Jessica enriched my english vocabulary and together with the other CS ers made sure I had a wonderful time in Verona. She convinced me that Seatle is my destiny but I hope to meet her at least in some other places again before i set sail to the promised land.
See you soon in Amsterdam and get ready for Granola Time!!

Jessica is great! She couldn't host me when I was in Verona but offered to meet up for lunch instead. The lunch turned into lunch, an afternoon tour of Verona, dinner, breakfast and a lazy morning watching tv :) It was great hanging out with jessica and she really made me feel better when I got stuck staying in a lonely hostel. Take care Jessica, I'll see you again somewhere!

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.

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!

Especially for these walks into Verona and this so good pasta & wine party! Unforgettable! Definitely see you next time in Verona!!! Baci!

Jessica just moved to Verona, thus we have now 2 CS ambassadors here! It's been my pleasure to introduce her to our Verona CS community and to show her the city and the good spots. We had a good time drinking spritz, walking around and talking together with other CS friends. Jessica is a really friendly person and I'm sure we'll spend many other memorable nights in Verona with her.
