Hello! My name is Clara I have done a lot of work for accommodation trade and also backpacked Europe for 5 weeks CS the whole time, and I have really enjoyed it so far. I am very free spirited so I have a very hard time making solid plans because opportunities and such are always arising!

I am clean and quiet if you want but I love to chat and I’m very open minded and flexible, I love seeing different ways of life, cultures, and hearing different perspectives. People always describe me as down to earth, and I’m super easy to host, low maintenance, easy going, and spontaneous.

Currently I am almost 20 and finishing art school, I have been solo traveling for nearly 3 years now and I love it very much for the people, food culture, and experiences. I am very active I love to practice yoga, ski, ride horses and *try* to surf.

MY ART insta: @clara.mcgr.art
(looking for mural work and commissions if you may be interested in discussing this, forgive me but I have to promote myself every chance I get, I’m a young artist)

philosophy:
life is full of experiences none are good or bad they all just are!
accepting what is in this moment is the key to happiness:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m going away to France for 5weeks during school break to visit my first ever travel friend I met when I was 17 and make a quick first trip around Europe. I haven’t tried couch surfing in the past but it’s come highly recommended from my friends to try in Europe and I think it could offer some new and different travel experiences.

Interests

I have so many interests in life; nutrition, horses, psychology, spirituality, yoga, travel, different cultures, religions, and traditions. I also live for art, I love painting and drawing but I am happy to do just about any creative project, I am in school for visual arts at this time.
