My name is Alyssa. I am a 26-year-old artist and graphic designer, and I love to travel, camp, run, play disc golf and frisbee, and sing (among many other things!).

My brother has been a couchsurfer for some time now (Stephen Kerr, Sutton, MA) and has done a lot of traveling across the U.S., and I am interested in trying it out as a way to meet more people and better experience the culture of the places I visit. When I was in college, I studied abroad in Italy and lived with a host family, and I just think it's a wonderful and organic way to meet people and experience life away from home!

I now work in Boston as a graphic designer and spend most of my summers camping and enjoying the outdoors. I'm an avid disc golf player, so I'd be especially excited to meet any other worldly disc golfers out there and play the local course together!

I currently cannot accept guests as I'm in the process of moving into a new apartment, but would love to be able to in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing to meet new, awesome people wherever I go, and to find a more alternative and affordable way to experience new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I designed two 18-foot murals for the entrance to my high school theater. You can see that and other artwork that I've done on my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Artist.AlyssaKerr

Teach, Learn, Share

- I love learning languages! I would also be more than happy to teach a little English or Italian (though my Italian might be a bit rusty)
- I would love to take you disc golfing and introduce you to the sport
- Love playing games, got some fun card games and pictionary-style games I'd be happy to teach

Not sure what else to mention here, but in all honesty, I love to learn and share and teach and experience new things, so... yes!
