Hey there! I'm Theresa. Originally from Atlanta, but now I live in Seattle. I'm traveling parts of Asia and Africa solo for nine months to get out of my comfort zone and try new things, meet new people, learn about different cultures, and search for some independence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One thing I've learned from traveling solo, experiences are far better when shared with others.
