Hi! My name is Colleen and I am traveling from the top of Central America to the bottom of South America. I want to experience the world for all of its different people, cultures, stories, landscapes and cuisines! I come with a smile and am always down for an adventure. I love making connections with people along the way and would love to meet you, your friends, your family and your town!
I have Alopecia, which is a condition that caused all of my hair to fall out when I was 22, this is the reason for my shiny bald head =) I am perfectly healthy and very open about it, I have come to love being a bald woman and all it has taught me! I am keeping a blog of my travels and experiences with Alopecia in hopes to inspire other women with Alopecia to accept and embrace themselves for who they are and to show them they can do anything they want to do, regardless or hair or not. I mentor a lot of women with Alopecia and it has been so wonderfully rewarding. www.BaldGirlBigWorld.com
I would love to stay with you or simply just meet up to hang out and show me your town. I look forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because the most memorable part of any trip is the people you meet and the memories and stories you share with them! I want to experience a new city by seeing and doing all of your favorite things and hear what makes your home so special to you! I want to learn as much about other cultures and people and I can.
