CURRENT MISSION

to make the most of my semester abroad and see as much of Europe (particularly Spain) as I can

ABOUT ME

I´m Molly, a 20 year old college student from Philadelphia. I study in Chicago, but am spending part of this year in Spain - three months in Toledo and three in Barcelona.

I´m eager to see as much as I can while I´m here - both in Spain and in the rest of Europe.

I love to travel, and have done a good amount of it with my family growing up. I´ve always wished that I had a better way to meet local people while traveling and am so happy to have found this solution!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to do things that make me happy and expand my experience of the world. I think making connections with people is the most interesting and fulfilling part of the human experience

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´m currently studying abroad and hope to couchsurf on weekends and school breaks so I can see as much as I can while I´m in Europe.

When I return to the states I will definitely offer my couch when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the world of couchsurfing, but friends who have surfed have all had wonderful experiences, so I´m excited to start!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have ever seen was in Cambodia: I visited Ankor Wat and Ankor Thom and walking through the untouched temple - the one temple that hasn´t been restored and is still in the state of nature reclaiming it - was the most amazing experience. These enormous trees had grown right through the walls and become part of them. It was the kind of sight no photograph can really capture, because being surrounded by this temple overgrown with trees had a sense of majesty and antiquity that I cannot really put into words...
