Hello, my name is Lauren and I am 28 years old. I grew up on the central coast of California, and then moved down south for college. I now live in Los Angeles, California, and work in the film industry. I love watching good movies, eating good food, and having good conversation. I have a passion for traveling and for meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling in Western Europe January - March. I would love to meet people along the way! I will be starting off in Barcelona, moving to Paris, then to Italy. I'm hoping to find some awesome people to stay with who will be kind enough to show me the local spots.

Interests

I love food, art, music, and film. I have played the piano since I was 5 years old. I am trying to learn how to play the guitar. I love visiting museums, learning about the history of a city through it's architecture / art / cuisine. I want to learn to cook, and often take food tours or cooking classes in every city I visit. I love film, I work in film in Los Angeles and my dream is to write for film. I am traveling in order to be inspired and hopefully find time to write a script of my own.
