Hi! I'm Lauren :) I'm originally from New York but I've been living in Australia for 10 years. In December I quit my fancy infrastructure job to travel, write kid’s books, write a novel and start a business :) phew! But what a journey.

I am always up for a weird and wonderful adventures. My favourite things are: travel to out of the way places (Maldives, Mozambique, tiny towns all over the world), Spain (all of it), making friends, dance, running, food, business, margaritas. intellectual conversation, beaches and sunshine. I care a lot about giving back and philanthropy.

Im very outgoing and I love exploring different cultures. I used to be a speed dating host and I believe that everyone is interesting if you spend enough time with them. My life philosophy is: Meet everyone you can, you never know who will change your life... :)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
