Hi, I'm Allison from California! I recently graduated from university and am taking a gap year to see other parts of the world and hopefully meet lots of interesting people. I just spent three months going all around South America and am now heading to Europe with my best friend Katie. We're hoping to make lots of friends from around the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently, I am here to surf, but I would love to host once I am done roaming and have a space of my own!

Getting to know so many other travelers in South America was incredible, but I wish I had spent more time with locals. I'm hoping to spend a lot of time doing Workaways, couchsurfing, and staying in Airbnbs to get more of the local culture. I love getting to know people from around the world and seeing all of our differences and similarities... And making new friends is always a priority :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Celebrating Chile's Copa America win in Santiago with locals.
Camping in Patagoina during the winter after a fresh snowfall. So surreal!
Road tripping through the Pacific Northwest in a minivan.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Warm, friendly attitude and hopefully some fun stories. My friend Katie is a good cook, and we both enjoy baking. We'd love to cook with you or for you! It would be great to share some nice conversations and maybe adventures with our hosts.
