Hi! I'm Lauren. I'm 24, and I've been travelling Southwest America in my van home. I've been Italy, India, Japan, and I can't wait to see where life takes me next. I love doing work-exchange with programs like Wwoof. I lived on a yoga sanctuary/campground for a summer, and I'm eager to continue my adventures in the U.S. and all over the world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet other adventurous people and make friends all over the world! I think this is the best way to get to know people, and truly experience a new place. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I went to India, I walked with a friend in a big parade of men with swords put through their cheeks, decorated with flowers and costumes, honoring the Son of Shiva. It was bizarre and amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning Japanese, teaching massage!
