(Sorry I cant host! I'm currently in Alaska for school and work August 2018 to Summer 2022 I'll be back in Santa Cruz for summers and winters 2019/2020/2021... hit me up! )

Hello! the name is Elisha Jorge. Jorge is my first name and Elisha is my middle name. Either or is fine. Eli is ok too.

"Big things come in small packages!" I'm 5'6. Lol.

I give it my best shot to be full of life, do the right thing, and make people smile/laugh.
I love life, people, and this beautiful planet. I'm looking forward to more traveling and meeting new people.
I enjoy long walks, hikes, conversations, and learning new things.
A couple of years ago I started getting into backpacking and hiking.
I really enjoy live sports. Sports help me be me but I will never put it before my family, friends, a good deed, conversation, a chance, live music, live art, and love.
I was involved in a big accident not to long ago and since then I have tried really really hard to re purpose my life. (Everything from attitude, perspectives, health, hobbies, etc.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to start traveling more and someone recommended couch surfing.

I also want to take the time to get to know awesome people of different backgrounds and places. I feel like inviting a complete stranger into your house (life) to stay is a very brave thing a person can do.

i also plan to write a book one day and I would most def would want to add a couch surfing chapter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked twice through 4 states parks over the Santa Cruz mountains. Got to see all the old growth red wood forest. What made it Amazing was that the trails and paths we took are not open to the public. Had to get special permits from local, state, and federal government. I did it twice with a class. People apply and can take up to 3 to 7 years for a spot.

i cheated death 4 times.

Changed my lifestyle and I have lost over 48lbs and counting.

Quit my job, followed my heart, and moved to Alaska to do an Outdoor Leadership Program.
