Hello! My name is Tina. I am originally from California and I go to school on the East Coast. I traveled quite a bit as a child but it wasn't until I was 17 that I took my very first long-term solo traveling trip to South East Asia. It was an amazing learning experience and I met many wonderful people along the way.

Update: I recently graduated and am currently on my second long-term solo trip!

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

It's my way of immersing myself into a new culture. I love meeting local people and fellow travellers as well!

Zainteresowania

I love discovering places by myself or with company. I love people watching, cultural activities, hiking, learning new activities, but my favorite is helping others take pictures when asked (or just offering)!

Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami

I am super low-maintenance and flexible-- I like to work around your schedule or plans. Sometimes, I like to have my down time with just a nice cup of tea and a book, all while sitting near a park or a lake or a cafe and just feel as though I am among others but I am truly by myself. I love to cook, and I have a passion for learning to cook. I adore children and wildlife, and if there is a spider in your house, I can take it outside for you! I have the worst luck ever and many people can attest to this (when something goes wrong, it's considered the least surprising thing to have happened to someone), but I don't see it as bad luck. Instead, I see it as a reminder for why I am alive :)

It's never really about the number but I've visited over 80 countries and would love to share my experiences with others.
