ABOUT ME

The Grand Tale of Bryan and Charlotte: We are two fun-loving nature nerds who make our living taking kids on adventures in the redwood forest and teaching them all about plants, animals, and the environment. I hail from the lovely state of North Carolina and Bryan is a California native. We are embarking on a journey to bring my car from NC back to California and are stoked to have many exciting times along the way. I enjoy laughing, hiking, cute animals, local brews, spontaneous adventures and growing things. Bryan loves a good crossword puzzle, weird bugs, homemade jokes, campfires and playing any game. We are super laid back and pretty much up for anything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the pleasure of hosting a few awesome couch surfers while living in Asheville. I did a bit of couch surfing on my first cross-country road trip from North Carolina out to California and met some lovely people. I have yet to meet anyone involved in couch surfing that is not interesting and friendly! This is Bryan's first experience with couch-surfing and he is excited to meet some local folks during our travels.

Interests

I love doing anything outside, especially hiking, gardening, rock climbing, kayaking, and backpacking. I enjoy cooking food, laughing alot, watching movies, exploring, and noticing the beauty in simple things.
Bryan is a huge fan of grilling, playing the guitar, doing crossword puzzles, fishing, and watching baseball.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Folly Beach, South Carolina a few summers ago and around midnight my friends and I went for a swim in the ocean. There were bioluminescent dinoflagellates in the water and everywhere we moved there was an explosive burst of light. It looked like a trail of fairy dust through the water everywhere we went. Absolutely magical!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a deep appreciation and respect for the natural world. I also like living communally and participating in a sharing environment. I want to learn from others' experiences as well as share my own. I think couch surfing is such an awesome opportunity to get an inside view of places when traveling.
