My name is Alison. Travel is something I really love to do. I love to meet new people, experiencing new places, and trying new things. I’m hoping to gain more friends through travel on this site.
New to this and thought I’d give it a try!

ABOUT ME: I design outdoor power equipment all day, its the biggest passion of mine. I'm an artist in my pass time. I enjoy drawing, painting, sculpting,etc. I love hiking. Nature is my favorite thing and its sad to see that most people don't truly see the beauty in it. If there's one thing I could do for every single person, is get them to see that the world is a hidden wonder. I have two silken windhounds that I couldn't live without. They'll brighten anyone's day if you get to meet them. If reading that doesn't give you a hint; its that I love animals. I love cooking and tea! Tea is a new found love of mine and would love to share a cup with you.

CURRENT MISSION: share a cup of tea with others!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is a passion of mine and I want to experience the world that is around me. I don't just want to see all the tourist spots. I want to see what the world really is, what society and culture is like in the places I travel. I want the thrill of the hidden adventure.
