Aloha!
Alyssa here :) I was born and raised on the East Coast and I took off to Colorado after high school to pursue a degree in Environmental Studies. I have since finished some college but decided to take a break to travel.
I LOVE climbing, cooking, reading and anything that has to do with the ocean! I have recently become a certified scuba diver and I am currently doing work trade at an animal sanctuary in Hawaii. I am vegan and an animal rights activist and I love animals n fruit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I much prefer the personal touch of staying with someone/people who live(s) in the area. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures and ways of life!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 18, I stood up for animals languishing in a factory farm and participated in a peaceful protest. I participated in civil disobedience and was arrested.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking! I really enjoy cooking and am more than happy to share my abilities to make a delicious plant based Languages! I am currently taking a stab at French and would be open to learning other languages too. I also am intrigued by being upside down. I would love to heard handstands, headstands and anything of the likes.
