COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

undoubtedly cannon beach in portland, oregon. there were rock formations in front of us and an endless, unbroken horizon. to the right were mountains covered with lush vegetation and clouds were hanging low over them. to the left was another mountain. and beneath my feet, soft, squeaking sand. the sun was coming down and everything was orange and gold.

ocean beach in tasmania comes a close, close second.
