Hi! My name is Kim and I'm a curious, patient and kind soul in an exploratory stage of life. I live in Vermont five minutes from the Canadian border and am looking to connect and have new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had amazing experiences on Couchsurfing and am rejoining the community after a bit of a hiatus from exploration. Back in the winter of 2015 I traveled in Europe with my best friend for about about two months. Each time we stayed with a Couchsurfing host we had the most amazing time! Later that year I ended up working for a ski resort in Colorado and opened up my apartment in employee housing as a host. I loved being able to return the favor as a host, meet people from all over and make lasting memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Indie rock mostly but I'll give anything a listen though I don't love heavy metal or country.
Movies: Not a huge movie buff but I do enjoy anything that's off the beaten track, as long as it isn't crazy violent.
Books: I don't read as often as I should! It's been a lot of non-fiction for me but lately I've been remembering how lovely it is to read fiction. I particularly like classics from the 20th century. Perhaps there's some past life reminiscence happening there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built up an off-grid homestead from raw land to a (mostly) functional space. My former partner and I found a used yurt on Craigslist, built the platform for it, assembled the yurt (the quick part!) and moved in before we had electricity or running water.
