Hello all!

My name is Anna. I am 26 years young, originally from Hampton, Virginia. I have lived abroad in Germany, Thailand, Cambodia and Guatemala following my college graduation from Clemson in 2014. I have a Bachelor's in Economics and recently finished a certificate in Social Impact Strategy at U Penn.

I am the founder of a social impact business that involves custom design work, up-cycling waste and helping coastal communities monetize their local surroundings. In my spare time I practice yoga and enjoy studying Ayurvedic medicine and being outdoors.. camping, hiking, walking... whatever that may be :)

I believe luck favors the brave and that you have to live a life that sets your heart on fire...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You should never meet a stranger :)
