Hello! My name is Lauren, I currently live in a small town named Graeagle. It is in the sierra mountains and has a population of 600. We are a big outdoor camping destination for people all over California and Nevada.

I work at a brewery and a local farm helping with farmers' markets. My boyfriend, Pope, is a Maintenance guy at an apartment complex in Reno. We usually hike, camp,bike, drink beer, disc golf and go to shows for fun.

Pope and I are moving in January. At first we were going back to my college town Eugene, OR but, Tennessee has hit a heart string so we are off for a quick 5 night stay to see how we like the place.

I'm an impulsive fun doer and he loves coming along for the ride. We decided we may like Tennessee yesterday and I am buying plane tickets today.

I know you can't truly understand a place in 5 days but you can certainly speed up the process by talking to locals and meeting great people!

We love good food, good music, disc golf, good beer, average wine, places to dance, and awesome food. We definately want to go to some breweries so we can 'Untapped' that shit!!! We can entertain you, or keep out of your hair, whatever is best.

I like to cook and would love to cook for you, OR lets go to your favorite restaurant and dive bar.

We are pretty easy to get along with, particularly Pope. Everyone loves pope.

CURRENT MISSION

Experience first hand as many landscapes, cultures, and people as possible.

ABOUT ME

I work hard so I can play hard. I am always antsy to do something. I live in the small town of Greaeagle, at the North part of Tahoe National Forest.

Went to school in Eugene, OR (GO DUCKS). I'm a huge fan of the outdoors. Love the mountains. Love to hike, kayak, rivers, sun, and snow. Love that people can help people! Traveled for years before and now am saving money to buy land.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still searching for that philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I use CS off and on. Sometimes I forget this is such a valuable resource. So, I help when I can and seek help when I remember.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had a ton on CS experience. More so I meet people in Eugene who happen to be CS and offer them a place if they seem chill.
