Hey I'm Jess!

I'm pretty down to earth and friendly. I like meeting new people, though sometimes while traveling I can get overstimulated and withdraw a bit just to take everything in. I live in a small community so cities can be a lot! But I love exploring them!
I'm totally sober and so am not looking for environments based around substances. If you are a friend of Bills, let me know so we can check out a meeting together!
I'm currently in school doing pre-requisites for a nursing program, and working.
I'm in a home where I cannot say for sure that guests are welcome since my home is shared. If you are interested in checking out the PNW though, definitely ask and maybe it'll work out. If you are considering allowing me to stay in your home, know that I am aware of shared space and generally very respectful. I love being around animals!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because it is an incredible resource. Meeting locals and staying somewhere for free is unbeatable. Also when I am in space I can invite others into, then I get to meet travelers, give back, and see my home through their eyes.

Interests

Some things that I love are traveling, music, people, nature, and most things mystic. I feel very connected to my spirit and spiritual/conscious lifestyle practices. So if you are into anything having to do with the esoteric, metaphysical, yoga, meditation, crystals, naturopathy, ceremony, astrology, doing self-work, healing ancestral trauma, herbalism, psychology; then I would love to share that. If not, I love relating on many other levels as well! In fact I love hearing about things I'm unfamiliar with so crossing people on different walks of life is engaging and refreshing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't really know what to say :/
many people like me and appreciate my company and I make an effort
to be conscious of what I add to a communal space
Maybe a foot rub? I'm good at that. I'd say I can share jokes, but I don't remember many
