Hello humans (:

Matthew and I are moving to New Zealand so I can train as a Black Water rafting guide in the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves. We've been living at a co-op house in Santa Barbara, Ca with 30+ people these past few years, where we host couchsurfers regularly. We're hoping to use couchsurfing to connect with new friends during our travels.

We love meeting new people and getting to swap stories. We have lots of experience communally, know how to clean up after ourselves, are very adaptable, respectful houseguests, and promise to bring lots of positivity to our couchsurfing encounters.

A little bit about us-
I enjoy creating random art projects, playing outside, woodburning, going to concerts, and cooking/ baking. In the summer I work for an Adventure Tourism company in Alaska that flies charter planes to remote locations for brown bear tours. We like to travel abroad in the off season.

Matt plays music and loves to jam. He likes cheezy burritos and whisky. Matt works for a software company and is a digital nomad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and experience the cultures of people from all over the world as we make our way across the globe.

Living in a Co-op has taught us that there is nothing better than the tailored hospitality of someone who welcomes you into their home!
