My name is Allison and I am from West Chester, PA. I am a third year engineering student at Georgia Tech in Atlanta! This semester I am studying abroad in Metz, France and will be traveling all around Europe visiting as many places as I possibly can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going to be traveling a lot this semester and have heard great things about couchsurf from friends! I would love to meet new people and create friendships all around the globe through couchsurfing. I also plan to start accepting guests once I am back in Atlanta, and would love to host visitors from other countries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I interned with Southwest Airlines in the Fall of 2015! I had free flights (on standy by) and was able to fly anywhere in the US all semester. I was on 47 flights in 3 months, slept in many cars and airports, barely slept the whole time, but had an amazing experience. I met my best friend and got to see so many amazing places! Some of my favorite places were New Mexico, Arizona, Utah (for hiking) and my favorite cities were Seattle, Chicago & Denver!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn from locals about the cities that I travel to in order to gain a more authentic experience!
