CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a place that can fit me and my three (or two) best friends this summer!

ABOUT ME

We are a fun bunch of girls that will be backpacking across Europe in July and August 2010. We are all students 20-21 years old and have been to Europe before. We love hiking, reading, films, humor and just having a good time. Shelby is from San Francisco and is moving to LA next year to go to school, Lauren goes to UC Santa Cruz and will be staying in Prague after our travels are done at the end of August, Shelbi goes to San Francisco state and so does the mini one (Chrissy). We all love to travel and all have very similiar interests. We all are a pretty hilarious bunch and love to explore and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"When you come to the fork in the road, take it"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Great Wall of China/... Chrissy slept on the great wall of china when she was doing a semester at sea. She said it was one of the most amazing things she'd ever seen and we are all jealous!!! Lauren is obsessed with anything having to do with Paris so I guess that would be her amazing thing. Shelbi loved all the beautiful churches last time she traveled Europe and other Shelby said the most amazing thing she's done worked at a YMCA camp as a counselor in San Diego

Teach, Learn, Share

We'd love to be able to learn about a place from people that actually live there. We all think it will be an amazing experience and can't wait to meet awesome people. We have heard fantastic things about people couch surfing experience and think it is a better route to take than staying at a hostel or hotel. We hope that we can leave this experience with many great friends and memories
