My name is Connie Duran and I'm from Southern California. I was born in Long Beach. And now I live the next city over. I went to a private catholic school for 12 years, it was crazy but I survived. I studied abroad in South Africa for a year in 2012. I love nature and being out doors hence you'll find me going hiking most of the time. I love to try new things, from new foods to places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to live like the locals. Go to the places they like and see things they usually see. I rather see how you live then visit touristy places. I really just want to immerse myself into their lifestyle.
