Lover of life, politics, Vermont and learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am incredibly grateful for this organization! I think that there is no better way to learn about a culture and its people than to live with them when you're traveling. I CouchSurfed, by myself, through Europe a few summers ago which terrified my family. As a birthday present my uncle paid for me to stay for a night in a hotel. It was very sweet of him, but that was also the most boring and least meaningful night of my trip.

I, unfortunately, can't host (but I will happily break the dorm rules in order to host any of the people who hosted me!) My mom, however, made a profile and is happy to host, whenever she can. Here is her profile: https://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=5I18U05HK&from_search&search_ranking_names=1
