Hello! My name is Crystal, and I'm a final year business student currently studying in the UK. The first thing people notice about me is my heavy American accent...I was brought up in the U.S., but chose to attend school in the UK because I wanted a drastically different experience, so far, it's proved to be a good one!

I am originally from Portland, Oregon. Most people have never heard of the place, and those who have will never fail to ask, "so how accurate is Portlandia?" To put it in simpler terms, it's a pretty accurate depiction. Portland is a friendly city filled with amazing food carts, donuts, and beautiful scenery. If you ever get a chance to visit, the Pacific Northwest is truly a beautiful place, and autumn in Portland is absolutely stunning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am lucky to have traveled more than the average American, but i still feel like I haven't met much people along the way. I want to use to this opportunity to learn more about local culture and in exchange, offer my insights on living abroad
