Hi there!

My name is Brooke Anderson, a California native who loves volunteering, traveling, and meeting new people! I am currently studying abroad in Granada, Spain where I'm practicing my Spanish and learning all about Spanish culture. I am majoring in Public Administration in southern California and have a strong passion for social issues and justice within the political sphere. I enjoy hiking, volunteering, and traveling while expanding my cultural perspective!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet new people and open my mind to new perspectives in different cultures! I would love to learn more about different cities and see a local way of life. I love striking up conversation and making friends in new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to do 80 hours of volunteer work in Costa Rica during the summer of 2015. It completely changed my life and future career endeavors. I radically changed my major to Public Administration and am now pursuing a career in policy implementation in International Development and Sustainability. I am very passionate about women's issues and girl's education in developing nations.
