ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Libby... the boy you see in all the photos is my boyfriend, CJ. We live in a small beach town in New Jersey. I studied abroad in Amsterdam in the Fall of 2008 where I was first introduced to couch surfing. Some of my BEST experiences while abroad were while couch surfing. I was so thankful to become a part of the couch surfing community and discovered places in my travels I would have never seen on my own. Three years later, I have graduated from James Madison University, moved back home to NJ, worked full-time for a year in a career that I recently learned wasn't for me. I've taken a part-time position at the same company, with a different role, and that frees up a lot of time to do the things I truly love. CJ and I are planning a cross-country trip for about a month right after Christmas. We'll fly into Seattle, make our way down to San Diego and then head east taking the southern route. While CJ has yet to experience couch surfing, I hope to be able to show him exactly WHY I absolutely loved the unforgettable moments with complete strangers that became friends.

PHILOSOPHY

walk in the rain, jump in mud puddles, smell flowers, blow bubbles, stop along the way, build sandcastles, say hello to everyone, go barefoot, go on adventures, act silly, have a merry heart, sing in the shower, read children’s books, hold hands and hug and kiss, dance, laugh and cry for the health of it, wonder and wander around, feel happy and precious and innocent, feel scared, feel sad, feel mad, give up worry and guilt and shame, say yes, say no, say the magic words, ask lots of questions, ride bicycles, draw and paint, see things differently, fall down and get up again, look at the sky, watch the sun rise and sun set, watch the moon and stars come out, trust the universe, stay up late, climb trees, daydream, do nothing and do it very well, learn new stuff, be excited about everything, be a clown, listen to music, find out how things work, make up new rules, tell stories, save the world, and do anything else that brings more happiness, celebration, health, love, joy, creativity, pleasure, abundance, grace, self-esteem, courage, balance, spontaneity, passion, beauty, peace, relaxation, communication and life energy to...all living beings on this planet - bruce williamson

[i added this philosophy when i created my profile in 2008 and i believe it still stands true]
