Hello! My name is Lauren and I'm a recent college graduate and biologist. I study birds for a living, which takes me all over the country. I also recently completed a cross-country bike tour from Virginia to Oregon, and I'm hoping that there will be a lot more bike touring in my future! I enjoy cooking, cycling, pottery, hiking, birding, and exploring the outdoors. I’m fully vaccinated and currently on a cross country road trip to Arizona with my partner Andrew!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing so that I can make meaningful connections while I'm traveling. My favorite part of my bike tour was meeting and staying with people along my route. I met so many wonderful people (many of whom I've continued to keep in contact with) and learned so much more about the places that I was visiting through the eyes of the locals that I stayed with. I hope to continue to make those connections as I travel the country, both by car and by bike!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm very interested in learning about the local area and culture that I'm visiting, and I'd also love to pick up bits and pieces of new languages as I travel! I'm a sponge for new information, and would love to learn about your hobbies and interests.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I love to cook, and would be more than happy to make you dinner or help you cook! I'd also be happy to teach my host about any of my interests mentioned above as well.
