What better way to experience a new place than being introduced to it by locals? I love to find the "off the beaten path" things about a place, they are the memories I truly cherish when I find them, and couch surfing allows you to find a guide as soon as you arrive, something hosteling doesn't always allow. I want to meet new people who I can learn from!

Spent a semester studying in Edinburgh scotland! Got to explore the highlands (favorites: glen Coe and isle of Skye, hiking the Quirang!), go to dublin or London for the weekend if I was in the mood (thanks for the cheap flights Ryanair!) and most importantly got to know and fell in love with a new city.
