Kia ora! I’m Lauren from New Zealand. I’ve been travelling for 2 months now before I start a new chapter to work in the UK. Currently backpacking around Europe until Christmas.
I’m a barista, studied psychology and criminology, founded a social enterprise and am now taking a break to explore.
New to CS.
I love exploring new places and learning about cultures!
I am keen to meet locals and fellow travellers everywhere I go. I prefer to get the real deal when I travel, not the typical tourist checklist. I’m into music, books, coffee, wine, exploring, outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
