ABOUT ME

Adventurer who loves exploring the world and the people it has to offer! Avid hiker, cook/baker, writer, and microbrew taste tester. I'm a journalist with an environmental policy degree.

Also, people call me Liz, not Elizabeth :)

PHILOSOPHY

I love intelligent conversations just as much as silly ones. Ask me something. Tell me a story. I'm ready to talk and ready to listen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Can't host but would love to meet up with surfers in Colorado Springs to show them this amazing city! Also looking for couches when I travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Houston, Texas; Lyon, France; Munich, Germany

Interests

Traveling (obviously) both internationally and domestically, skiing, hiking/backpacking, mountain biking, cooking (I'd be glad to cook for both hosts and surfers!), exploring restaurants, going to concerts, writing, local beers, and whatever else life throws at me!
