Hello there! My name is Leah, and I am a recent graduate of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, U.S.A.

I love to travel, hike, bike, write, read, draw, paint, dance, go to the gym, see live music, and do yoga.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hello Couchsurfer Hosts & Travellers!

I am currently looking for full- time work in Brooklyn, NY and am hoping to do some more traveling in the near future!

In the Spring of 2016, I studied abroad in Arezzo, Italy, where I had many lifechanging experiences and was able to meet so many incredible people. Prior to this, I had done some solo traveling across Europe, where I went to the U.K., The Netherlands, and Germany. I also visited Barcelona, Spain while I lived in Italy.

All of this goes to say that I understand what it is like to travel on a (small) budget! I love meeting new people and experiencing towns/ cities through the locals.

Interests

Dancing (ballet), painting, drawing, reading, hiking, going to art museums, concerts... I love drinking wine, even though I am technically underage in my country. My "mum" still lets me drink it with her though! :P I love to be outside as well. I have grown up close to the Rocky Mountains and enjoy a good hike, and also like to ride a bike.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed to the top of Mt. Vesuvius & up and down an island off the coast of southern Italy (Capri), as well as through the streets of Barcelona on an injured knee. Not very fun at the time, but I look back on it now and it was all worth my experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to be taught about your culture, lifestyle, and if you could share some of your daily experiences with me, that would top it all off.

I can share many things about my culture, my passion for life, and can make some cool art for you to take with you.
