Hey all! I'm Lexi, a university student in Washington, DC. I spend most of my free time traveling and can't get enough. My first solo travel experience was in Barcelona when I was 15 and almost 5 years later I'm still constantly travelling or planning my next travels. I'm a huge fan of helpx and workaway have really enjoyed working in different places around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I love meeting locals wherever I am around the world. I believe that the main point of Couchsurfing is cultural exchange, not just a cheap place to stay. Last time I used this site was two years ago when I was backpacking around central Europe and I met so many amazing people that I can't wait to do it again!

Interests

Exploring new places, seeing live music, hiking, reading, history, social issues, politics, and more!

I've a very active person and am always trying new things, whether that's a new type of food, seeing a new band, or exploring a new country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Las Ramblas in Barcelona at night. The giant redwood trees near Yosemite. Watching the sun rise after a perfect night out in Berlin. Swimming in the English Gardens in Munich. Bathhouses in Budapest. The monuments in Washington DC at 2am. Drinking wine along the Seine. Exploring the coastal cliffs in Lagos. Hiking in Kosovo. Midsummer in the Swedish countryside. And so many other wonderful things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook awesome vegetarian food or find hidden gems in thrift stores. I have some great stories to share too! And I love learning, so anything you have to teach or share with me I will be receptive :)

What I Can Share with Hosts
