Hi, I'm Audra. I recently graduated with my masters from Edinburgh University in Marketing and have moved back to Boston to start the next adventure. My recent stint abroad reignited my love of traveling and meeting people from all sorts of places. It also has started a love affair with Scotch.

In a previous life, I worked with the computer engineering teams at entertainment tech start-ups. At current, I am doing the job search dance while re-acquainting myself with Boston.

I tend towards liking the geekery things (think Star Wars) and have recently started getting more serious with my photography. I am always up to meet with someone who wants to spend a day photographing and exploring somewhere. Boston changes so much with the seasons that some places never look the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet some new people as I've recently moved to Boston. Also would love to show people around the city when the visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to spend a semester living in a castle and I used to take kendo.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am rather independent and can look after myself on trips. I am open to helping with cooking and cleaning a bit as needed. Also, I believe in bringing a hostess gift as that is how I was raised.
