Hi my name is Kara! Im from the United States. Currently, I am a nursing student at Saint Louis University. I am in Europe this summer because I have an internship where I will be working in one of the hospitals in Spain as a nurse. I thought that this was an awesome opportunity to learn about a new culture, specifically their healthcare system. I'm very passionate about travel and living outside of your own country for a little while. I think that it really helps put a perspective on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people! Specifically people that live in that country. When I visit countries, I want to experience the culture of it and how people live there, and this can sometimes be difficult when you just stay in hostels.
