"I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another 'til I drop. This is the night, what it does to you..."

Salutations, friends, my name is Anna. I am a lifelong artist and former van-dweller. Unfortunately, my house is parked for now until I can make some pretty serious repairs. But, as much as I love my beautiful beast, i am looking forward to reconnecting with my past modes of travel and meeting like-minded individuals.

"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds." -Edward Abbey

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I have hosted in the past and absolutely loved it! I recently began utilizing the site for surfing and had such a great experience. When I have hosted I love feeding my guests tasty meals and showing them around Salt Lake. I want to be an ambassador for my city and show visitors the gorgeous mountains nearby and fun things to do in the city. We actually have a really great bar and music scene! When I am surfing you can expect me to be a kind, respectful, clean guest with some great stories to share.

I adore all of the guests I have had! I feel so privileged to be a thread in their traveling tapestry. My experiences surfing were so much fun and I met a lot of great people who went out of their way to help me along on my travels.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Living the van life off and on for three years. I learned so much about myself, felt stronger than ever, and saw indescribable beauty.
