Vaccinated!!

Hi! I'm Loren. I'm 22 and I just graduated from college in California in June. I'm traveling with my dog named Pepper. She's 5 years old, 20lbs (9kg) house-trained, and knows lots of tricks :)

I'm planning to travel throughout Europe indefinitely; for at least a year. I'm not sure what the future holds for me but I want to learn a lot about other cultures and hopefully make a lot of friends along the way!

My main goal from my travels is to learn about myself and make some unforgettable memories while I am young. I'm at a turning point in my life and I really just want to experience something new, because life is short and can change quickly as we have learned over the last year. I can help with any home improvement projects or gardening you have! I am passionate about sustainability and I worked with engineers without borders in college.

I've been mainly traveling through airbnb and have a few reviews on there: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/183003441

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling gets expensive and I love meeting new people! The main goal of my trip is to learn from people all over the world and hopefully find some new music/books/movies to enjoy. I had an amazing time staying with friends in Italy and hopefully now I can continue to experience Europe like a local through some new friends on here!

When I move back to San Diego I would love to invite all my new friends to come stay however long they like :)
