Hello friends! My name is Larissa and I am student at the University of Texas and I am currently studying abroad at University College London (For this reason I unfortunately can't host anyone :(( ). Since I am from the states, I really want to take advantage of the opportunity on being on this side of the globe and get to meet people of all different backgrounds and walks of life. It amazes me how Europe has so many different countries, each so diverse and culturally vibrant and I just want to immerse myself in that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said in my about me, I really want to get to know the countries I am visiting and what better way than to meet people who actually live there!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My gratitude for their generosity! And everything they would ever want to know about Texas, the US, or Mexico! (to my greatest capabilities hehe) I'm not a very cook (I apologize, I wish my skills weren't so poor either), so I can't cook anything for you :( but I can share some of my favorite dishes from Mexico or Texas!
