I'm Lara, an adventure lover and avid traveler. Currently learning Spanish (beginner) and French (intermediate), I thrive on connecting with people. Experienced in communal living since 18, I'm an extroverted and respectful individual who follows rules and keeps spaces tidy. Exploring, hiking, meeting new people and boogying (particularly to live music) are my cryptonite.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've taken a 6 month break from the 9-5 grind to expand my brain with languages, new cultures and connections. I'm spending a couple of months in Mexico before hitting up a new adventure. I am keen to get to know places through the eyes of a local - especially in a place with as vibrant and fun people as Mexico
