Hey there! I'm new in this app. My name is Laura and I'm a composer and a classical music/jazz musician. I play piano, drums and bass

I also dance swing music

People around me usually describe me as a very enthusiastic, open-minded and smiling person. So I guess I'm super friendly (unless you don't like dogs. Then you deserve hell )

Travelling is another of my biggest passions. I want to discover every culture, learn from it and meet new people around the world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it seemed too beautiful to be true when I first heard of it. And now that I've seen it's a real thing, I want to travel around the world, meeting this wonderful people here
