Hi I'm Lauren! I grew up in Colorado and attended Baruch College in New York City where I majored in Business Marketing and played on the volleyball team. I received my Masters in Development Studies at ISS located in The Hague in the Netherlands. Always learning and challenging my own beliefs. Overly idealistic. Still trying to figure out what I'm passionate about.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am continually in awe of the incredible people I meet traveling and through Couchsurfing. The cultural exchange and great conversations keep me grounded and have taught me more than I could've ever imagined. There are so many wonderful people in the world, and I think with the current state of the world it's easy to forget that.
