Hello! My name is Rebecca Carlson, and I am 24 years old. I lived in Los Angeles, California for the last five years pursuing a career in acting. I recently moved back to my home town in Florida, U.S.A. to save money to travel through Europe and re-imagine my life and begin a blog about my travels along with photography. I currently work as a Bridal stylist and love it! I have a passion for life and want to live it fully. I love to travel and be immersed in other cultures and meet new people! I am currently planning to back pack Europe and I am looking for cool people to stay with that can also hopefully show me around their city!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't want to visit a city merely as a tourist and stick to myself. I want to meet people and see the city through a locals eyes! I think this is a wonderful way to meet new people while also saving money on a trip!
