Hiii there, my name is Carli and I'm a senior at Texas A&M University studying political science with a focus in international relations and a minor in economics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an aspiring surfer of couches. I'd gladly be a wave, but I severely doubt anyone wants to crash on my couch in College Station, Texas. There just isn't much to see.

I will be in London from May to end of June 2017 for an internship. I am particularly looking for places to stay in Dublin, Ireland or Glasgow or Edinburg, Scotland for different weekend trips. Also looking into a place in Barcelona, Spain from June 22-28th.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I suppose the main thing I'd want to let a potential host know is that I do intend on experiencing some of the night life, so it is likely that I could return later in the night; but, (believe it or not) American southerners place a heavy importance on manners and I'm very capable of discrete, quiet reentries and also will *not* be bringing back any "special" guests. Beyond that, I'm a happy, talkative Texan that is ecstatic to be returning to to the U.K. and Ireland!
