Hello! (F, 24)
I cannot figure out how to change my gender preferences on here, but I am a woman if that makes any difference.

My name is Gabriella - I'm a watercolor artist with a passion for travel and cooking.

I enjoy long road trips, as I've made my way to almost all 50 states, camping out of a Jeep with my golden retriever! Lover of hiking, camping, gardens, bonfires, late-night walks, and nightlife in the city. I'm always down to try something different, listen to new music and share the arts - and am happy to socialize with new people

I am heading to Europe for a few months in the spring for an artist residency and for the pure joy of sightseeing - I'd love to meet some people who've traveled Europe solo in the past to gain greater insight.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here’s to meeting new people and welcoming spontaneous adventures!
I find I’m happiest when learning more from others and gaining a greater insight on how others live on a day to day basis - people are what make the world go round.
