Hi!! My name is Julie -- I am a 24-year-old American woman excited to be spending the summer traveling. I've been to 57 countries from Iraq to Kyrgyzstan; India to Portugal. I love to experience different countries and cultures; from dancing to music to cuisine to history -- I love it all!

I briefly had a YouTube career travel vlogging (you can find me on YouTube "Julie from LA", my Instagram is @juliefromla.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I have spent lots of time in hostels, I prefer to stay with locals / in homes. I find it a more authentic experience.
