Hello!
My name is Elizabeth but I go by Liz although some people may call me Lizard. I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, went to highschool in Southern California, moved to New York City to attend college, and just recently moved to Maine with my boyfriend and our cat Pistol to start a farm. I love food, travel, and experiencing things for the first time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a dream of traveling to every country in the world and desire the real experience of each place I visit. I feel as though I can't achieve this without meetıng and or staying with people of the community I wish to learn about and be immerced in.

Music, Movies, and Books

Sooooooo many! How could one ever answer this question?? To name a few though, any music made from hand clappin' foot stompin' hootin n' hollerin' soul stealin musicians (this includes a few) I also can't pass up a good harmony. Books Books Books and more books please!! Watership Down to name one and of course movies. It really depends on the day.. I can go black and white silent existential mania art house or something that will make you laugh until you puke that you would never tell anyone you watched. I love horror and I love documentaries about food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to every state in the US! I also milked 80 cows today.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach or share anything about coffee, agriculture, folklore, photography, cooking, homesteading, etc. I can also teach you how to make cheese or sing head shoulders knees and toes in Norwegian! I love sharing and never want to stop learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and playing cards or any board game, playing music, conversation, and I am an excellent cleaner!! I am also officially certified to make one of the best cups of coffee around.
