Hi! My name is Lauren. I grew up in the US but I am currently living in Wales. I just graduated from university with my bachelors degree and I decided it was time to explore the world before I start my career. I love to travel and until now, I have never visited Europe so voila! I ended up in Wales.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just learned about this website and I think it seems like a really interesting opportunity for frugal travelers. I am generally a die hard Air BnB traveler but I am always up for trying something new and learning from locals in whatever area I am traveling.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

My top 4 favorite movies are: The Dark Knight, Inception, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Think Like A Man

I am currently rereading the Harry Potter series and I am trying to explore as many Harry Potter sites as I can while I'm here in the UK. Other than that, I love murder mysteries or anything with a twist ending.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving from the United States to rural Wales to volunteer and explore a part of the world that I've never been. I decided I may never get this opportunity again and now is the best time for me to do it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to travel like a local. Everywhere I go, I like to dive into the culture and visit less touristy places to really get the true essence of a place. I am also a very organized and independent person and I am a very quiet guest. I prefer to travel alone or with one other person. I can join in in conversation or happily leave hosts alone and do my own thing.
