My name is Jen. I'm a designer, artist, and photographer. Deep down, I've always been fascinated with exploration and learning all I can about different cultures and the history they leave behind. My car, and my main companion in my travels, is Lady Jane, the Riverfish. I know, I know - what does that mean, exactly? To elaborate -in a 'short story' manner of speaking- it means I'm a little strange. Being a strange individual means I am attracted to a variety of places and activities that others might find intriguing, a little off the wall, or flat out weird. My newest 'strange' expedition is taking place on the road and primarily inside my Toyota Prius.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here simply because I don't like wasting money. I'm always looking for the best deal or affordable tools to create an alternative living solution. I love to travel and explore all kinds of neat places on a budget. Since my career as a Graphic Designer allows me to work on the road, I'll be taking full advantage of my time in this position to explore what I can of the United States. Couchsurfing is a great opportunity for me to see as much of the United States that I can, all at one time in one place. Thanks in advance for hosting me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped out of the motha-flippin sky at 14,000ft!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lived a very ODD life. My story is somewhat of something out of a really weird, sad, but rollercoaster of an uplifting movie. I love sharing what I've learned with others as well as all of the stories I have from over the years. I also LOVE to learn about others and hear what they've experienced and lived through.
