ABOUT ME
I am an easy-going gal from Boston. I am open to all that the world has to offer. I love meeting new people and exploring what life is really like in other people's shoes (or barefeet).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed once in Oviedo, Espana with a very nice couple who treated my friend and I to sidra (cider), a lovely meal, and a tour of the sites!
