About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding my voice as a writer and enjoying life with the boyfriend!

ABOUT ME

Hiya! I'm Liz/Elizabeth. I recently earned a graduate degree in journalism, specifically literary nonfiction.
One thing I love about journalism is that you can write about anything, so you can learn about anything, place, subject or person.

PHILOSOPHY

Not all who wander are lost . . . just those without maps :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed once before last summer with a couple of friends when we roadtripped from Texas to L.A. We stayed with Scott and Peg, who were couchsurfers AND park rangers in the Grand Canyon. They were the nicest ever, let us stay for three days and, since they were hiking all day, let us come and go as we pleased. I was really impressed by how nice and accommodating they were. The experience lessened my fear about couchsurfing and showed me what a fun time it can be!
