Hey Couch Surfing world! I'm Alyssa from California🌞🌸

I love traveling and meeting new people
I started backpacking around Cape Town last April after graduating university and I haven't found a reason to stop yet. Then orange satan got elected as the US president and I decided to extend my trip.

I'm running away from trump.

I thought I'd give the edge of the world a try. I have the working-holiday visa and I'm looking to make some new friends and enjoy beautiful NZ.

I love wine, loud people/places, being out in nature and cats

I have used couch surfing a lot of my travels throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and it has been a very rewarding experience!

P.S. this profile used to be also used by Lily, Madeline and me as a group in 2013 💜
