My name is Taylor and I love art, chocolate, dancing, and pretty much anything that has to do with food. (I'm hungry all the time). I studied art at university and love seeing how different cultures express themselves through traditional crafts and modern arts. I'm also super into hiking and any sort of adventure outdoors (sometimes I'll even go extreme- I went skydiving once, threw up all over. Ask me about it!) My favorite thing to do in new places is go hiking and get a panoramic view of the city/country/ocean/etc. below me. I've been practicing Spanish for a few years, but need a lot more practice/time to get better. I can usually handle general conversation well, but once you add in the pressure of making a bus on time, confused directions, and rapid speaking, I will struggle! I grew up in the United States in the state of Virginia, close to Washington D.C.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently traveling around different parts of the globe with my friend Catherine. We like to have a combo of touristy and local experiences in the places we go, so we thought Couchsurfing would be a cool way to do that! Meeting people, getting introduced to local cuisine and normal life- right up our alley. Hope to meet you!
