Hi, my name is Lauren. I am an artist, gardener, and animal lover. I like learning about new cultures and have met people from all over the world through travel. I work for the public school system with students with disabilities. I love what I do and that I'm able to make a difference in the lives of the people I work with (I also enjoy having the summers off to travel).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To live like a local, not just a visiting tourist.
