Hello! My name is Haley, I’m from San Francisco. I’ve taken this year off to get out into the world, learn about cultures different from my own, expand my knowledge of the world, and get to know myself through travel.

My year of travels started in China where I lived and taught English and art at a Waldorf school for two months! I then spontaneously booked a flight to Australia for a month, where I backpacked around and lived in a yoga retreat center in the Aussie outback! I spent some time living as a ski bum in the Sierras of California. I then spent a few weeks living on a farm in Hawaii! I currently am traveling around Europe for two months and am looking forward to what this adventure holds!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love meeting new people! I think there’s no better way to get to know a culture and place than through the people who live there.

I’m a little obsessed with Patti Smith’s book Just Kids right now, caught up in the dreamy bohemian life.
