Hello my name is Alicia. I am a full time student working towards my Masters Degree in clinical social work, as well as a full time middle school math teacher. I am turning 30 this year and since I have the summer off I decided to go on adventure. I will be backpacking for the first time this summer. I have never been to Europe and I am beyond excited to learn about new cultures.

Thank you for considering me. If you have any questions or want to get to know me better I am more the willing to Skype with you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a full time student and teacher I do not have a lot of extra money. Couch surfing is allowing me to explore Europe on a budget. I also think it would be awesome to stay with a local and learn about their culture. This is my first time traveling and I think it would love to experience someone's country and culture through their eyes.

A few years ago I got this amazing job traveling the US working at Comic Book Conventions. I work for a celebrity photo company and as a result I have met the stars of some of my favorite TV shows.
