Hello! My name is Lois, it is a pleasure to meet you! I was raised in Aspen, moved to Switzerland at 16 to get a taste of the world and caught the travel bug. I've explored 52 countries so far- many of which for short term work and volunteer projects ( like WWOOFing if you are unfamiliar). I'm an avid reader, love to dance, and a bit of a chocolate addict.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is always more fun to stay with locals! I'm looking to meet great people in the places that I travel to as well as welcome visitors to my hometown and show what makes it so special.

Teach, Learn, Share

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great stories, graciousness, fun loving nature, and I've been told I'm a great conversationalist. I think it's always fun to make the world a little smaller by making new friends, no?
