Hi all! I am very new to this site but it seems so cool. My name is Francesca and I am a photographer from Austin. I love working with people and making art - pretty much my two favorite things along with travelling. I am a very passionate, driven person who can make anything happen if I put my mind to it. I love meeting new people and sharing stories. I am super easy going and love just hanging out on the porch with a beer & fun conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but I am a college student so I don't have a lot of money to blow on hotels. And besides, what's the fun in that? I love hosteling because I've met so many cool people, but I love staying with people even more. It's a very rewarding, authentic way to travel!

Interests

I absolutely love photography, design, art, traveling and music down to the core. If you like any of those things then you've already clicked with me! I am very passionate about everything I do and I love seeing people light up when they talk about the things they love. That's why I love being a portrait photographer - I get to capture a very special part of people sometimes even their close loved ones don't get to see very often. I love hiking and camping also. I've been camping since I was very young and every time I go it still gives me waves of amazing nostalgia.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music (no, really). My music library will shift from indie to roots reggae to gangsta rap to world/latino to classic rock at every song. I like variety. I love scary movies but so many people aren't down with them as much as me so I can pretty much watch anything and be happy. I love X-Files without a doubt though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked across Europe (and you bet I'm doing it again!) and camped for two weeks in Hawaii. Travelling is my greatest achievement and I hope to keep going with it (and documenting it along the way).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love meeting people so mostly stories. And random facts. I'm full of fun ones.
