CURRENT MISSION

To help make the world a better place

ABOUT ME

Hi All!My name is Leah. I am from Baltimore, MD and I was a history major at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. My sophomore year, I was lucky enough to study abroad in Greece! I had my first couch surfing experience there and it was amazing. I am going into photojournalism and documentary film and I am currently working on my second documentary right now. Go to homealivedocumentary.tumblr.com to find out more.I love to travel! I love meeting new people, going new places, eating new foods, and having wonderful experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you want to be treated. Get outside your comfort zone. Make the world a more beautiful place. With great power comes great responsibility.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Like I said, I couch surfed once in Greece. I plan on doing it more when I travel more. I hope that I am in a position where I can open my home up to fellow couch surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Five of us couch surfed in Thessaloniki, Greece. Angela took allll of us in and it was amazing how trusting she was. We stayed with her for a weekend and she felt like a sister by the end of the trip. What an amazing girl!
