Hi there! My name is Ali and I am hoping to meet new people and create friendships with people from all over the world! I have backpacked to over 40 countries and find traveling offers me more joy than anything else. When I'm not traveling, I am a full-time law student studying international human rights.

I HAVE REFERENCES ON REQUEST as many of the people I stayed with are not on this site

I love laughing, animals, fruits and veggies, flea markets, books, nature, music, and human connection. I studied art, so I love anything creative. My favorite places are museums, book stores, and bakeries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of traveling for me is meeting people and creating meaningful experiences and relationships. Couch surfing is the perfect way to meet people and find those relationships. I love the idea of sharing spaces and hope to one day host backpackers in my own home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love alternative/indie music, 80's, 70's, 90's, among other genres! I love watching comedy, action, or older movies and reading (favorite author is Wally Lamb), as well as going out on adventures

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved across the world alone not knowing anyone or speaking the language

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently learning Spanish and would love to learn more or help out another beginner

I can teach people about art/some art skills or how to do film photography. I can also teach you good vegan recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a respectful guest with lots of personality. I love talking and sharing stories, getting to know each other, and finding common interests. I am always up for an adventure, a night in, or just a long chat :) I also totally understand you have your life and am totally cool with doing my own thing !
