Hi there,

My name is Rachel, a 26 year old gal from Sunny San Diego! I currently manage a top rated Hostel in San Diego. I am very familiar with traveling backpackers and have met wonderful people from all over the world. I have dabbled into traveling here and there but only for 6 weeks at a time. Now I am planning an adventure of a lifetime, inspired by the wonderful souls I have met. I consistently heard about couchsurfing and 98% of the time it was only good things. Of course, there is a 2% chance you'll get the creeper host. I thought to myself , "why not give this a shot!" Most people have told me that they became friend's with their couchsurfing host and gained the real local experience. I am not traveling the world from a tourist perspective but rather hope for the local perspective. I want to completely immerse myself into every city, town, country and continent I go to! I am ready to bid adieu to San Diego and begin my travels! Looking so forward to meeting all of you and to learn from these experiences that lay ahead!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm ready for the local experience! I would love to get to know the host and the city!
