CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Aloha! My name is Lauren and I'm 24 years old. I graduated from Portland State University with my BA in Psychology and have been enjoying time off before I attend graduate school. I don't get to travel as often as I'd like, previously because of school and work. In my spare time I volunteer in a first grade classroom, paddle board, hike, read, and trying to take up new hobbies with everything San Diego has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is the really my first go at trying out couchsurfing! Now that I've graduated and am working more this has allowed a little more room to travel without worrying about my studies. I'm stoked to surf and host, meeting as many interesting people as possible while having a great time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only ever surfed before, but am excited to host and meet other surfers!
