Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed and hosted several times over the last few years, and have thoroughly enjoyed meeting new friends in new places. I've connected with so many amazing people and made friends for life! All of my experiences have added to my love love LOVE of everything!!! Thank you Couchsurfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I meet people and we say cool things.. and then we DO cool things. Sometimes we cook/drink/otherwise verb: cool things.. and I like that, I like all of that.

Interests

Oh boy.. Okay. I like chopsticks and traveling and painting. I am all about popcorn, music, road trips, biking, swimming, skinny dipping, building things (fortresses, rafts, etc) I LOVE hot springs, wine, cuddling up with a good book (and some dark chocolate), hiking, camping, peanut butter ANYthing, river tubing, 4wheeling, snowboarding, and being around animals. I think good things happen over coffee/tea/wine. I love to learn from other people, and I always love a good story. I LOVE cooking, and all the good conversations that happen in a kitchen. I love bath night, movie night, girls night, playing cards, all the seasons, happy hour for SURE! Soft things and funny things and tasty things.. I like to go on 'missions' and otherwise plot mischief.. I avoid needless drama and people who are judgmental, narrow minded, or manipulative. Other than that I am laid back and pretty much enjoy everything, heck, I even like cleaning the apartment!
