Currently new to traveling. The first time I left the United States, I went to Quebec, Canada for a school trip. The second time I ventured out was summer of 2017, and I went to southern Uganda. I went for a study abroad trip for 2 weeks. We also had a long layover in Dubai, so I was able to check out the city while I was there. After this trip, I realized that I needed to see more of the world, so a few moths later I had the opportunity to travel to Manila, the capital of the Philippines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to see the world, but I only have so much money because I am in college. I was able to get scholarships to help me pay for my trip to Uganda, and I had help getting money for the Philippines because the trip was for a wedding. My friend and I have a friend that lives in Wellington, New Zealand, so we are going to see her at the end of this up coming December through January. While we are visiting, we also would love to see Queenstown and Taupo while spending the least amount of money possible. My friend and I would like to meet new people as well and learn more about New Zealand's culture.
