Hi there! I'm Laura. I'm a big fan of food, all kinds of music (I play guitar), learning about the environment and exploring. I write and shoot photos for a living, and also do those things for fun. I'm currently studying narrative journalism at UC Berkeley.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My experiences couch surfing have thus far been wonderful. I think the willingness of people to share their homes is super special, and getting to know hosts is my favorite part. And like most people on here, I like to travel.
