Heya!
I'm Lauren from the U.S., I grew up close to New York in a small state called Connecticut. I come from a mix of cultures (my family is Puerto Rican, German, and British). I have been lucky enough to have seen a lot of the world so far, and don't plan on slowing down anytime soon :)

I am currently attending university for my master's degree and try travel as much as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and create genuine connections with fellow travelers. It is a privilege to learn from their experiences and life. Possibly get to see the hidden gems of the places I am visiting!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a wide variety of music. From classical to reggaeton - music is another great way to share something we enjoy with each other!
It all depends on the mood, the season, etc.
But I am always down for new music suggestions :)

I like romance novels, mysteries, thrillers, the list goes on...
Currently I am on a mission to read classic literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I collect sand from every place I visit and have done this for over 10 years. My friends and family even started contributing, which I am super grateful for.

I now have sand from over 50 places! It's incredible to see the accumulation of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to swap stories - whether it be about travel, funny moments, learning lessons, etc! It's so great to learn from each other and laugh everyday.
