Hi! My name is Karen. I'm a 21 year old college student currently studying at Cleveland State University. I study Supply Chain Management, and love travelling, coffee, dogs of all sizes, and all beers, both good and bad. I studied abroad in fall 2015 in Galway, Ireland which has really been my inspiration to see and do as much as I can in the short time I've been given.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I want to see as much of this good Earth as I can. I don't have an unlimited budget, though, and travelling without meeting locals seems a bit worthless. The chance to lower the cost of travel while staying with and learning from a local sounds pretty perfect.

Intereses

Music (listening not creating), travel, reading, photography (very very average), petting dogs, rowing, backpacking, hiking, napping, netflix, eating all the food, meeting new people, the occasional drink, and just generally havin' a good time.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I worked in Bozeman, Montana for a summer and spent a week backpacking in Glacier National Park where I saw black bears, a grizzly, many moose, and had to slide down an ice covered mountain without ice gear.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I am a really outgoing person who loves to meet and talk to new people. I love experiencing new cultures, and sharing my stories from my life. I like to think I'm pretty fun, but also can appreciate the value in quiet moments and calm.
