Hi! I'm Anna, a California girl with the relentless urge to explore the rest of the world!
I've spent the last year teaching English in southern Spain, and am now traveling Europe for a few months before flying back to the States!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet incredible people from around the world, and to see their countries and cities through their eyes instead of the eyes of a tourist!

Interests

I love travel (obviously!) and spending time outdoors. I always seem to sleep best in a tent, and hiking is definitely my favorite form of exercise, though I've recently started taking up trail running as well🏔️

📸 Photography is one of my greatest passions, and I carry my little Olympus just about every where I go, but I've got a backlog of over 20,000 pictures to sort through so learning to edit is my next project!
