Hello! My name is Andrea and I love to travel and explore the history and culture of new cities. I am interested in churches, museums, food, and connecting with people. I am very interested in learning new languages and in general, being able to communicate with local citizens of the cities I visit. It is my cherished belief that only the locals know where the best spots are to visit and explore--cities become alive when you explore it with a local rather than as a tourist. I am excited to visit more countries in my lifetime and challenge myself to new experiences and ideas. Happy traveling!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to connect with locals in their cities to understand what daily life is like for them. In this way, I will be less of a tourist. I am more reserved, so couchsurfing will challenge me to meet people and be open to new experiences.
