Hello! My name is Laila. I just graduated and am traveling a bit to learn about other cultures and meet amazing people, which couchsurfing really helps with! I've met some amazing people through this app! I was born in New York but have lived in California since age 3.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just found out about couchsurfing through a friend, who told me about all her amazing experiences. I decided to try it and loved it. I love meeting interesting people and I feel it's the best way to do so!

Interests

There's so much! I am an only child. I love to travel! Sometimes it's while teaching English and sometimes it's backpacking. I studied international relations, criminology, law and society & spanish. I speak three languages. I've traveled throughout Europe, the US, and Latin America. I will also start the Peace Corps in January in Albania!

Music, Movies, and Books

Spanish music, English rap/pop. I love all different kinds of movies, my favorites are comedy, horror and documentaries. I read often, and don't have a type of book I like reading- it's always something different.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the amazonas in Peru, Huayna Potosi in Bolivia & Las Cataratas de Iguazu in Argentina!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about other people's cultures and perspectives. I also share my culture with others who want to learn. It's beautiful to meet others, explore countries and learn languages. It's also beautiful to see a place for what it truly is, which staying with locals helps you to do.

What I Can Share with Hosts
