Hello! My name is Marisa and I am a 23 year old American living in Los Angeles. I love meeting new people, learning about new cultures, and eating good food. I have just come back after spending 2 years living in different parts of France and would love to explore more of my own country now :) I will be moving to Boston this Fall to study Food Policy and Applied Nutrition. My best travel experiences have been through Couchsurfing and I look forward to continuing to be a part of it!
