Hey there! My name is Haley and I'm a socal native with the travel bug like you wouldn't believe. I am an avid runner, hiker, climber and camper, so I'm a pretty decent adventure buddy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Though I don't have a place of my own, I would love to someday host wonderful travelers like myself who want to see a city through local eyes :)

Interests

Any and all things outdoors! Running, hiking, climbing, yoga and slack-lining are my year round favorites, though I also snowboard, body surf, wakeboard and swim as well. I also absolutely love relaxing with a book and a nice cup of tea when I'm not being active. Cooking, gardening, meditation and arts and crafts equally foster my general well being.

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music, and open to hearing what you like! My favorite bands are split evenly between old and new: im a die hard beatles, queen, rolling stones, paul simon, stevie nicks and joanie mitchel fan, but i also love first aid kit and new age folk and funk. My favorite movies are Big Fish, Forest Gump and the Fantastic Mr. Fox. My favorite book of all time is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, (don't ever forget your towel), but I have read almost every SciFi novel you have ever heard of 😝 and my favorite author is Stephen King.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I held a baby panda in China!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love exploring new ways of cooking, and love even more to play and learn about new sports and outdoor activities. I also love to listen to stories :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Practically, I cook, clean, and garden, so if anyone needs a little extra help around I'm glad to be of service. Staying with people means seeing places I wouldn't normally see so if you want a travel, trek, or wander buddy, I'm your girl! I love getting to know new people so just be prepared for some good old fashioned curiosity from yours truly
