Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have just spent the past two years completing national service across the United States and I have found my passion for traveling! I want to see everywhere I possibly can before the comfort of staying in one place appeals to me. Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to see all these new places, with people who truly enjoy where they are living. I am excited to learn from everyone I can, and travel on an affordable budget!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Over the past year I have served as a Team Leader for eight 18-24 year olds as we completed 6 different national service projects across the United States for 10 months. We served in Midway City, CA; Williams, OR; Sacramento, CA; Ferndale, CA; and Modoc National Forest, CA. The team was also selected to serve on a disaster relief project in Flint, Michigan to help provide support during the Lead Water Crisis for three months.
