Hello! I'm Lauren and I am 21 years old. I am a Media Studies and Visual Arts student in Vancouver, Canada. I was born in Korea, grew up in Canada. I love adventure and trying new things, visiting new places, and meeting new people.

Been trying to find a balance between studying and travelling (17 countries so far and counting!). My next big trip is to Cape Town, South Africa in January and then I will be studying abroad in the Netherlands starting in February!

Other than travelling, I love film photography, art galleries, thrifting, snowboarding, swimming/beaching, and have recently been getting into rock climbing and surfing! I love a good mix of city life and the outdoors :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to make some new friends and have some company while exploring foreign cities!
