CURRENT MISSION

to backpack Europe on a budget.

ABOUT ME

My name is pronounced like "Trisha" but with a K. (I do get that a lot.)
I'm an American 20-year-old who likes to meet new people, discover new places, and eat new and delicious food. I enjoy going off the beaten path, immersing myself into a culture, and avoid the American tourist reputation.

I am currently studying abroad with the Danish Institute of Study Abroad in Copenhagen and studying Child Development & Diversity. I hope to become a family child care provider at home.

I used to be a waitress at a restaurant in San Francisco in front of a hostel and found it really neat to meet tourists and other students from around the world - thus, inspiring my wanderlust to travel in Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

(Dis)cover more ground and avoid taking the same path or visit the same place more than once.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I come back to California in July, I'm willing to meet people and direct them towards the best places in San Francisco for sights and food.

As soon as I have my own place, I'll be able to offer up a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

looking forward to gaining some!

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Serving in Costa Rica for two weeks tutoring children at an after-school program in one of the a low-income neighborhoods. The children and the people I worked with were amazing and inspired me to study Child Development.

Hiking the Northern ridge of Piatra Craiului of the Carpathian Mountains - just sitting at the top of 2,000 meters. (The highest I've climbed so far.)

Bathing at a bath in Budapest.

Visiting the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Walking along the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.

Living at a folkehojskole (gap year boarding school) outside of Copenhagen.

Jumping into an icy cold Norwegian fjord after a hike.
