CURRENT MISSION

Three young Cobbers, looking to Become Responsibly Engaged in the World.

ABOUT ME

We are Leland, Laura, and Sarah. We met each other by fate (through the Concordia Choir programs) and became family. Or just really close friends. We go school in Northern Minnesota, USA and Sarah and Laura are graduating and are looking for adventure, and Leland's looking to find himself. But seriously, we all love traveling and experiencing different cultures and people. We are excited to learn and experience first hand everything Europe has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Laura: I believe in youth, travel, music, friendship, dreams, and love.
"Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss." - Fitzgerald

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We'll be traveling after Sarah and I graduate. We anticipate flying into Edinburgh, Scotland on May 7, making our way through the UK to London, then going to Amsterdam. From Amsterdam, we plan on going to Hamburg, Berlin, Warsaw, Krakow, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Croatia, Milan, Rome, Cinque-Terre, Genova (or anywhere in the Alps), Zurich, Paris, and flying back to the states from Amsterdam on June 9th (roughly).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None! But we want some :)

兴趣

Laura is a Vocal Performance (Opera) major, Sarah is a Religion/Interfaith and Music major, and Leland is a Healthcare Management and History major. We all have musical backgrounds, all love history, and are interested in world religions and different faiths. We also love to read, as well as food and wine.

音乐、电影和书籍

Laura: My favorite book is John Steinbeck's "East of Eden." Favorite music is honest music - genre doesn't matter.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Sarah: When we (The Concordia Choir) were in South Korea, at the end of one of the church services, the entire Korean congregation stood up and sang "How Great Thou Art" with us.
Laura: In high school, I met an Auschwitz survivor named Henry Oertelt. His story was, of course, amazing, but his life motto has stuck with me: "If you have to hate, hate hate."
