Hi! I'm Frances. I'm from St. Louis, MO right smack in the middle of the United States. I have a lust to learn just about everything. At any given time I am working on mastering a new subject or skill. Currently I am learning photography and web design to start a travel blog. The best part about my job is we have 300 offices worldwide that I can work from to conserve vacation days. I plan to make the most of that perk this year!

I travel every chance I get and have been to India, Thailand, Bosnia, Croatia, Nicaragua, Germany and Mexico as well as most corners of the United States. Recently I went on my first solo trip to Iceland and it changed my life. I got to see what i wanted to see, eat what i wanted to eat and do it all at my own pace Plus i met other amazing solo travelers from all over the world. Those new friends told me about couch surfing and I knew I had to try it.

Hobbies include hiking, biking, tennis, golf, Scuba diving, cooking, reading, knitting, board games, wine and dancing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I took my first solo trip to Iceland last year I met so many people from all over the world. Getting to know them and learn about their culture was incredible. When I travel I prefer to avoid the more touristy spots and get a locals perspective so staying with a local would be great. Also i have a spare bedroom that goes to waste so would be happy to offer it up to anyone coming through St. Louis.
