ABOUT ME
I'm Laura, I love to travel and meet people from around the world. I now live in Houston but can't figure out how to change my location.
This is sort of a joint profile with my husband as we usually travel and host together. Since our world trip in 2014 we've had 2 kids which will be starting to host and (hopefully) travel with.

I Love exploring new places, trying new things, tasting new foods and meeting new friends. We have lived in different parts of the world and see always the positive in the world and people. Living each day to the fullest and doing the best we can in life is important for us.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the NOW! The past and future are illusions!

Live to the fullest, Love to the fullest, BE the fullest!!

You are what you eat!

Every situation brings something positive

Accept and respect all living things!

Don't get stuck...move on..Live in the present!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted more than 50 people over the past 10 years in NYC and Texas. Some through couchsurfing. We think is an amazing way to share the city you live in and meet people from around the world. We've surfed in many places met incredible amazing people.
