Recently started a blog to encourage others to live with more kindness, compassion, and authenticity. I am very passionate about it and proud and excited and will absolutely want to talk about it if you are interested (my IG for the blog is @lizwithoutapillow or you can check it out directly www.lizwithoutapillow.com)! I’ve been on a spiritual journey for a couple of months now since i began traveling in Sept ‘18 and hoping to keep it going as long as humanly possible! .

Absolutely not looking for sex. Will smoke weed, will drink, am down to party......but i am really looking for people who want to delve into deep conversations about the human experience, and for people who like to laugh, and enjoy life. I am truly very easy-going, have a plethora of guy AND girl friends— we joke about anything and everything — but have now had three negative experiences with men here on CS who just didn’t want to take No for an answer. I promise i am nice to everyone, do not misunderstand and think i am flirting with you. If i am, there will be a reallyyyyy obvious and intentional physical signal that i am into you!! Ciao.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling on a budget! Trying to meet some friends, live like a local, and embrace new cultures. Hoping to give back to surfers when i decide where I’ll plant my roots next... or maybe even before then.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Alternative, indie, jazz, old school r&b, classic rock.... billy joel, eric clapton, the beatles. Movies: favorites are comedies, but enjoy horror movies, superhero/action movies and a good drama. Books: Currently reading The Universe Has Your Back and 12 Rules for Life: An antidote to Chaos. I love a good motivational book, or anything that will give me some new insight on life and love. Also love cheesy magic, aliens, mythical beings, etc 😝

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to teach fitness...and actually just love to educate and be educated. Teach me something! Would love to learn to dance and annnyyyyyy words in a new language. I promise I’m trying! So much to learn about this world and excited to begin the journey. Happy to share any skills I've learned in life and in the Army. Love to talk and love to listen. Would love to go for a run or a hike - smoke, explore, share battle stories :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a cooker/cleaner by nature. Happy to help around the house, and not afraid of getting my hands dirty.... in fact i actually love to get stoned and do yard work, And other seriously intense chores on a yucky day. Any bad weather days we are together - i am totally game for some deep cleaning. Easy to get along with - been told i have an infectious laugh and that “my smile takes up half my face”. I love bad jokes/dirty humor, puns, movie quotes, pop culture references, i laugh at myself and like to make everyone feel comfortable. Respectful and kind.
