OK thanks, that says she was a bank teller for Bank of America. That could mean that she worked there one day.
That’s the article that I read too. It says she wanted to go on one last adventure before she put herself in the job market and started working in Seattle. Thats important I think. There is a big difference between her quitting her job to go on a trip, and her going on a trip because she didn’t have anything else to do.
Right, it doesn't indicate that she quit her job in order to travel. But she had worked more than a day. Here's a paraphrase of the full quote below the brief one saying she "was a bank teller":
She says she moved to the U.S. in 2013 when she was 24. She worked in the bank for a year. Because she was not happy and passionate about the job, she quit. Now she tries to do things she always wanted to do, like traveling alone. She wants to learn to confront fear by traveling.

I don't think the article was completely accurate indicating that "she struggled to find work" because she actually had worked and quit. Perhaps she struggled to find work she loved and an actual career. I'm not sure how to interpret what her husband said, but her profile on couchsurfing and his statement aren't necessarily as contradictory as I thought at first glance:
"She's younger and she wanted to go on one last adventure until she puts herself in the job market and starts working in Seattle," said Reinhard. "It was a backpacking trip before she started getting serious with her life and finding herself a little bit."
