Hello! I'm Laura, I love outdoor adventures, making new friends, and traveling. I am currently living in Tahoe California!

I have been able to use couchsurfing abroad to enjoy a local perspective on places I have visited. I would like to pass it on now that I am back in my home state.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love exploring and surrounding myself with fun-loving, positive people. I'm on couch surfing to meet people for day trips, carpooling, and to exchange stories. I love learning about cultures and what better way to explore a different country then with a person who calls it home.

I compiled a video of last year's adventures teaching outdoor ed. and living in Taiwan if you want to watch it and learn more about me click here:
