About Me

CURRENT MISSION

discover that moment of childlike awe that happens when you encounter something that makes you so happy you want to squeal

ABOUT ME

Lina (and her kitty Raffi) live in Walla Walla, VT. Lina does small scale stainable community orientated development work, enjoys movie and game nights with friends, and is savoring a Pacific Northwest summer. Raffi spends most of his time seeking the warmth of puddles of sunshine and blankets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Years ago Lina and her friend Katie stayed with wonderful people during a two week trip to Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg). During a recent 4 month (and 10 country) international trip, Lina stayed with several hosts and enjoyed meeting up with several more. Lina has now hosted a bevy couch surfers and hopes to meet many more.
