Hey couchsurfers! My name is Ashlyn and I currently live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A year ago I graduated with my Bachelor's in Psychology. I hope to attend graduate school next fall to become a Clinical Psychologist. I joined the couchsurfing community in 2019 when I lived in Italy. I'm really interested in rock climbing, nature, books, any outdoor activities, sustainable lifestyles, science, and philosophy. I think its important to learn something new everyday :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and I am very interested in hearing different life stories, perspectives, and sharing cultural differences and similarities. Earlier this year during my month long backpacking trip through southern France and Morocco, as well as my time living in Italy, this network has been a great way for me to meet different people from all over the world and has made my travels really special.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As soon as I turned 18 I packed a backpack and hitchhiked from Florida to Arizona to explore the Wild West!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to exchange stories about traveling, culture, & life. I really enjoy hanging out and meeting new people but I am also very independent so I am okay not hanging out too! I'm a laid back person and open to many ideas :)
