CURRENT MISSION

Have fun and not sweat the small things!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Lauren : ) I grew up in a small NJ town my whole life. When I graduated college May 2011 and couldn't find a teaching job I started looking abroad. Now I've been living in Munich for almost a year, working as a first grade teacher at an international school. I love it here. I have met so many great people in my travels and look forward to continuing this through couch surfing!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to stress over the little things. You should enjoy the work you do and the company you keep! Don't be afraid to take risks and trust yourself!
