Hi there! I'm Danielle and I'm from Richmond, Virginia in the US. I studied International Business at Virginia Tech and moved to Spain after graduating to teach English. For the past three years I've worked at a broadcast and digital marketing agency, but have always loved traveling and decided to take the leap, quit my job and move to Australia for a year!

I love my family and friends more than anything (wine is a close second)...also really enjoy music and singing, going to the beach, cooking (not saying I'm good lol), spending time outside, reading, and meeting new people from around the world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn your story and get the inside scoop from a local while making new friends :)

I lived with a "host mom" while studying abroad in Spain and it was such an incredible way to learn about the culture, so I'd love to have that kind of experience in Australia as well!
