WHERE I'M HEADED...

I'm doing an internship in London, UK from September 2019 - December 2019. I will have weekends free and am trying to see as much of Europe as possible!

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone! I’m Laura, I’m a junior at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I'm from Huntington Beach, California, so living in the American South has been a huge change! I’m majoring in English and Comparative Literature, with a minor in Communication. I typically go to bed around 2300 (except for weekends, where sometimes it’s more like 0100, but rarely later than that!). I always wake up before 9:00 am, despite being a kind of lazy morning person. I like to unwind at the end of the day by getting reading done for classes, editing photos, chatting with friends, or having a glass of wine. I also love photography! My instagram is @lauranelson if you’d like to add me to see a bit more of my life.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go." - Anthony Bourdain

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm looking to couchsurf instead of booking hotels/hostels because I know I'll get a real taste for the local life.
