Hi, my name is Solina and I'm originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I am 22 years old and have recently moved to Chemnitz, Germany to teach English as a Fulbright Fellow. I love music, art, and, above all, traveling! I have been to many different countries and am hoping to expand on that list. The most interesting place I've visited has been Kuwait, but I have had wonderful experiences nearly everywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that interacting and connecting with locals in places I travel has completely upgraded my experiences. I love meeting new people, sharing stories and ideas, and having discussions about things from food to movies to politics. As someone who studied International Studies, I believe that cross-cultural dialogue has the power to change the world in such a positive way. I hope to make new friends and learn about new cultures! :)
