Hi! I'm Samantha! I'm a solo traveler who wants to take advantage of all that this world has to offer by exploring the world one country at a time!

"If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel — as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them — wherever you go."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing due to being a solo traveler, and I would love to meet locals and be a part of their culture! My travel experiences would not be the way they are if it wasn't for meeting locals along the way - everyone has a story to tell!

Interests

I love to travel, learn languages, and meeting new people along my travels while experiencing the culture! You can always find me with my canon around my neck and my gopro in my hand, I have a grand passion for travel photography and videography.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading Lonely Planet books on travel, always try to soak up as much info as I can before departing on my next adventure!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studied abroad in Barcelona for a year, and then backpacked Southeast Asia for 6 weeks immediately after, being on the road for 11 months total! NOTE: If you ever want to know anything about Barcelona (where to eat, stay, attractions, etc.) Please don't hesitate to ask! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion to do volunteer work and to teach English to children! I have volunteered with Teaching English programs in Lima, Peru and Phnom Penh, Cambodia! Education is the most important resource a child can have growing up.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts my great hospitality and friendship! I would love to get to know more about my host and their country, while I show great respect and appreciation towards the country and my host! Let's swap travel stories!!!
