About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Bicycling around New Zealand and Japan, seeing all I can for five glorious months of pedal-powered travel

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm Liza, or the Bean to my friends and travel buddies. I work as a bicycling advocate in Newport, RI, and live with my fuzzy giraffe of a boyfriend. We both pedicab in the summertime. Our quads are huge.

PHILOSOPHY

Too blessed to be stressed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted and surfed all through college. Took about a year off in the crazy post-school-freak-out, but looking to get back on track! Travelers make my world go 'round, the people I've met on this site have been consistently and astoundingly wonderful.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2011 I took a nine month solo road trip around the United States and Canada, checking out all the places I'd never been and visiting all the friends and family possible. On the trip I WWOOFed, camped, and Couchsurfed. I'm an easy-going gal who just likes to be active and on the move!
