Hello! I'm Lauren and I love to travel and meet new people along the way. I enjoy anything that is active and a bit of a challenge. I have cycled the length of New Zealand, as well as London to Paris, and this year London to Amsterdam. My favourite way to experience a new place is to drink coffee, absorb the history and meet the locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thinking meeting locals and hearing their recommendations adds so much to travelling! I love to hear other peoples stories!

Music, Movies, and Books

Gone with the Wind is a classic. I'm late to the Game of Thrones train but loving it all the same, and I aspire to be more like Lesley Knope every day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent last summer maintaining hiking trails in Iceland under the midnight sun. It was a real physical challenge but it was so rewarding, and you meet like minded people!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to see your town through your eyes, share a meal or a beer and laugh over some stories.
