Hi! My name is Laura. I'm a 27 year old female who was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. I moved to New Jersey grad school (Rutgers University - go Scarlet Knights!!!), and finally settled in Philadelphia in August. I am a social worker who is transitioning to a new job with the Department of Human Services for the City of Philadelphia. I live with my partner Alan, who is also a social worker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning on taking my real solo trip to Greece in March. While traveling alone does not scare me, I do love the idea of having someone to share my experiences with! I truly believe meeting people and learning about different cultures and ways of life is the best part of traveling. My best friend and I used Couchsurfing while backpacking through Japan in 2016. We met some of the most amazing people who we are still in touch with four years later.
