I'm 19, a henna artist, and I live in Arizona. I've lived in Finland and India, taught for 6 months, and I love art. My dad and I have a 1976 Volkswagen Westfalia that we're working on so we can go live in her and travel around for a year! I'm vegetarian and love to hike, swim and make healthy food. If you want to get to know me a bit more you can check out my blog www.apeaceoftheroad.com or follow me on instagram @smokymermaid :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing makes travel a lot more accessible and affordable for me. Plus, I get to meet so many new people! That is my favorite part about traveling. Having the opportunity to live with a local makes my travel experiences so much more authentic.
