Hello!
My name is Alison Smith, I'm 32 years old and currently working in retail management. I have 1 furchild, my dog... Oliver. He's all I need in terms of children for now. I'm a big music lover and bookworm. I collect vinyl records. Live music is my guilty pleasure, I try to attend at least 1-2 decent shows per month.
I'm really easygoing and tend to get along well with everyone I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really new to this but I suppose I joined Couchsurfing to expand my horizons. I feel like there's so much of the world that I want to see, yet I've been in Texas practically my whole life.
I would love to just see and experience the world... it's culture, it's people, it's history. I'm a firm believer that you can learn something from everyone you meet and hope that anyone I link up with via Couchsurfing can bestow some local wisdom on me! I hope that in turn, they will enjoy my company and maybe even learn a thing or two as well.
