CURRENT MISSION

To feel alive!
To learn first hand from every culture, person and place I possibly can.
To help others.
To live a simple, meaningful life.

What's up!? I'm Gnarly Carly. ;) Travel, dance, relationships and helping people are the things that bring me the most happiness in life. I also adore deep conversations, sunshine, cooking, road trips, sewing, hiking, reading, Couchsurfing, Zumba, laughing, naps, vegetables, change, being bare foot, yoga, Sylvester Stallone movies and sarcasm. ;) I'm pretty chill and simple. Just want to explore the world to meet all the incredible people in it, and inspire a few others along the way to do the same. Afterall, "Cultural exchange is the bridge to enhance the mutual understanding and friendship between the people of different nations"

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Strangers are just friends you haven't made yet. ♥

I first joined Couchsurf at age 18 because I was young and trying to make a vacation cheaper, BUT- I had the most kick ass experience I had ever had and have been hooked ever since! I have vacationed in hotels many times since and have learned the clear difference between vacationing and traveling, and think CS is one of the best ways to truly travel. It is such a vulnerable, beautiful way to meet people, help out other travelers, change people's naive stereotypes that anyone who wants to host someone for free is a serial killer, and just hang with some bad ass humans living that CS lifestyle, who understand the deeper meaning of it all.

When I was younger and still living at my parents house, I put their couch up on CS and would just tell them the surfers were my friends I met through traveling. 🤣
