About me, I am Laura, 24 years old and I study International Communication and Media at the University in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The past year I have studied for six months at the University in Valencia, Spain and I worked as a marketing intern at a concert hall in the Netherlands. When I am not working, or studying, I love to discover new music, try out a new (vegetarian) recipe, go out for a run, practice Pilates, visit a concert or go to an art exhibition. I am an easygoing and considerate person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently in the Netherlands where I am finishing my degree at the University. To attain my degree I am going to write a thesis for which part of my research is going to take place in LA. So that is why I am flying to LA in February for a three-month long visit.
