hello :) nice to meet you...i'm cherith, as you can see. i am a friendly person who is interested in traveling, sharing, community, exploring. i am a follower of Jesus and i love God and people. i am serious about faith and spirituality and also about respect, generosity and learning. i believe that we all have something to offer each other and i enjoy hanging out and conversations about all kinds of topics. i don't drink so i'm not a great bar buddy, but i do enjoy hiking, day trips, the beach, the river, poetry, art, church events, volunteering, picnics, boardgames and about ten million other things. i do have a car so i'd be happy to drive you to places you want to explore, do airport runs etc

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet people and share. i am house sitting right now so i'm not able to host, but i'm happy to meet up and go adventuring or do more practical things too like airport runs or grocery shopping etc. i have a car so i'm happy to help with stuff like that. i enjoy conversation and hanging out and meeting people. i enjoy travel and learning and i find that everyone has interesting stories and skills and experiences i can learn from and expand my horizons. i've traveled and lived overseas and i know that it can be confusing and lonely sometimes not having friends and/or people that you can hang out with and can help you. i would also like to travel again one day and i'm sure i'd like to be able to meet up and/or stay with people when i'm traveling and i'd like to pay it forward. to be clear i'm mostly interested in meeting up with other women. i'm friendly and happy to meet men too but want to be very clear it would be for friendship only. i am here to build community and not for dating or hooking up or anything like that.
