Hello! My name is Alexandria Harris! My two favorite things are traveling and tacos. I went to Illinois State University and studied Art Education and Art History. I will have my first job as an art teacher this fall in the states, but plan to move to Asia after! I'm a very outgoing person who loves to go on adventures. I'm also a yoga and hiking enthusiast! My best friend is nature and I love dogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel every summer and this year on my list is Peru! I will be traveling in Peru for two months. I have a home stay for part of it, but during traveling time, I will be staying in hostels or couch surfing. I have never couch surfed before but have heard great things! I would love to have the experience to get to know a local that can show me around the town! I will be staying in Arequipa, Puno, Chivay, and Cusco! I'm a solo traveler and would also love to find people to travel with!
