Hello! My name is Anna and I grew up in the USA. Besides traveling my passions include food (consuming and cooking) and art (making and appreciating). I love to try new things and bond with people over cooking or sharing a meal. I love making art and seeing the different art styles around the world. Besides that I love hiking and generally being in nature, reading and learning more about history and different cultures. I just finished a year long adventure around the world; I ate my way through Spain and Italy, spent the fall on a coffee farm in Hawaii; hiked, meditated, farmed, volunteered and vagabonded through Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite part of traveling is meeting new people! I love hearing people’s stories and learning more about whatever they have to share. I travel a lot and I’m always looking to meet locals and fellow travelers to explore with and get to know.
