Hi!

My name is Charise. I'm originally from California, but I've been working and traveling around for the last 2 years. I taught English in Thailand for 1 year, then taught in Italy for awhile. I'm currently traveling Europe and would love to meet other surfers who can show me around like a local :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know cities through the eyes of a local. It's also a great way to make friends on a backbacker budget.
