My name is Claire Macosko. I am 25 years old, Cleveland (Ohio) born and raised. I am a relatively experienced traveler, but I am always looking for somewhere to go, challenge, grow and experience new cultures. I love to be outside, run, explore, and meet new people! Although my portuguese is rusty (I studied abroad in Portugal 2008-2009), I love to speak it when I can and I would love to learn more. As of right now, that is all I can think of... message if me and ask me questions, I am an open book!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To explore, learn, grow and challenge myself. I love diversity and culture, meeting new people of different backgrounds and information that I can take back with me. I love to travel :). I have never been couch surfing before, so I am excited to encounter experienced or perhaps even new surfers as well!
