Hi there! My name is Lexi and I am a recent graduate from UC Berkeley in California, where I studied environmental studies and sustainable architecture. As a European citizen who has never had the chance to spend more than a week at a time in Europe, I am taking the next few months to fully explore Europe (primarily Portugal and Spain) and have a very go-with-the -flow mentality.

I love nature, backpacking, playing acoustic guitar, exploring new places, and relaxing with a book. I also love to cook, and am vegetarian myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a recent college graduate, I am embarking on a journey of self discovery for the next few months and am looking to meet new people, try new things, and experience cultures that are different from my own.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything Wes Anderson -- though his story lines are a little strange at times, his films always amaze me with the beautiful scenes and settings.

As for books, I am a huge non-fiction and history lover! My most recent reads are "Born to Run" and "Hillbilly Elegy".

What I Can Share with Hosts

I play guitar and ukulele and love to teach others! I also have a broad knowledge of environmental sustainability, architecture, gardening, and vegetarian cooking.
