My name is Leilani and I'm from Texas, USA. Recently graduated with my Bachelors Degree and looking forward to a summer of traveling through Europe for further knowledge.

Adventures of any sort are worth living for.

I love culture and the dynamics each bring to a person, so I'm excited to be able to delve into several cultures soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This has been a wonderful place that helps make others dreams come true and allows them to travel around the world. I want to be a part of such an incredibly humbling group of people that are able to be a friend to someone and hopefully I can make new friends when I travel!

A friend and I will be backpacking throughout Europe from July 19-September 3. We will be traveling through the UK, Amsterdam, Berlin, Kraków, Oswiecim, Switzerland (TBD where), Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, Prague, Greece and Istanbul.

Interests

Love art, history and both combined! Enjoy finding cute little gems that only the locals know about.

I'm a huge sports fanatic and play softball and volleyball (indoors and sand/beach), but can talk basketball, football and so much more. Some hobbies of mine are to hike and live adventurously.

I'm a photographer and frequent writer. My goal is to start a travel blog after my backpacking experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have stopped highway traffic to save a duck that was injured in the middle of the highway.

Go ducks!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you around, if I'm not working, and teach you some Texas history!

I'd love to discover great places to hike while couch surfing and how to maximize our stay with local attractions, not necessarily tourist ones. Unless of course it is a historical landmark.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tons of laughter and amazing, fun times! Trade secrets of living carefree and an awesome recipe for grilling Asparagus:P
