CURRENT MISSION

Traveling is an art!

ABOUT ME

I (Meghyn) really enjoy traveling and finding art galleries and hole in the wall coffee shops to people watch. I like meandering around new areas and trying new food. Recently, I've been craving the winter months. I enjoy spending time crafting homemade soups, making mulled wine, and relaxing with smart conversation.

Geoff likes eating/cooking delicious food, eclectic music, playing soccer, reading about farming/eco design and this year he plans to make us a roof top garden on our apartment.

PHILOSOPHY

"Why not?"- Victor

"Don't let yourself be weighed down by what other people think, because in a few years, in a few decades, or in a few centuries, that way of thinking will have changed. Live now what others will only live in the future." Paulo Cohelo

"Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before."
Mae West

"Design is inherently political, subjective…even subversive. And most importantly, it’s at base an effective tool for solving problems big and small. In other words, it’s both a perfect arena for activism and an actual process for turning that activism into change."
Emily Pilloton

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My good friends have boasted about CS for a while now and I'm excited that I'm in a place in my life to try it out and meet new, great people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I CS'd for the first time in Hong Kong and it MADE my trip. I met such great, special people to show me around their homes. Now, I tell everyone about how awesome CS is, I hope to host/travel with it everywhere I go!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finding a private balcony along the Mekong River in Luang Prabang, Laos- sitting there in the sunshine is as tranquil and meditative as it gets.

Teach, Learn, Share
