CURRENT MISSION

I'm still figuring out what I stand for. I'm seeking love, laughter, art, friendship and a sense of adventure.

ABOUT ME

My name is Caroline Clark. I am a 27-year-old American girl born and raised in Bakersfield, California. I recently relocated to Silicon Valley and am working for Adecco at Google X in Mountain View.

I am a licensed optician and avid thespian. I direct and act. I like to sing and dance. I love to meet new people. I love to learn, and think, and try.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be honest, respectful, caring and fun loving. I want to live my life in a way that doesn't harm anyone else. I want to make the world a better place before I leave and I want to see EVERYTHING.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first experience CSing was during a 3 week trip through Europe the summer of 2009. I visited Ireland, Spain, Italy and France. I surfed in Ireland and France and had wonderful experiences. I've hosted a many wonderful guests since my return and it's been very rewarding. CSing also turned out to be a great tool for making friends when I moved from southern California to Monterey for 6 months. I resided at COUCH BURNER'S CAMP while attending Burning Man 2011.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Dublin and Paris. I have hosted quite a bit. I like to think I am a good hostess. I've also participated in community building brunches and meet ups in Monterey, San Diego, Bakersfield and Paris. I recently went to Burning Man with my CSing friend Andy from England. We stayed at Couch Burner's camp and it was a BLAST!

Books: I'd put something here for fear of seeming ignorant but I'd be full of shit. I don't do books often. I fall asleep. I can barely make it through an entire movie. If there isn't human interaction going on it's very hard to keep my attention. That's why I like live theater and music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran into my mom's coworker while dancing on top of the bar to "Lyrical Gangsta" in Pamplona, Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share
