Hi I’m Lara, a 28-year old backpacker from London currently exploring the Philippines. Back home I work as a bartender and waitress, having previously worked in finance, and now I’m saving up to train to become a geography teacher. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting over 50 countries so I love exchanging good stories from around the world.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To meet good people and make interesting conversations, exchange funny stories over a few drinks, and hopefully make some lifelong friends along the way :)
