CURRENT MISSION

Letting go and starting over

ABOUT ME

You: "Hey Liz, you want to go to (fill in the blank) this weekend?"

Me (about 90% of the time): Heck yeah, I'm down!

Always up for some fun. I love trying anything NEW that I havn't done before: love meeting new people, new cultures, new places, new restaurants etc... If given the choice between going/doing something that I've already done or trying something else I'll take my chances and go for the something else...

PHILOSOPHY

MAKE IT HAPPEN

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Went to my first CS meetup in Stockton 12/2010 and LOVED it. The Stockton CSers ROCK!

Since then I've joined several message board groups to find out about local events, meetups and nor cal out door adventures like this one:

CS Yosemite Trip April 2011. Volunteered for the Yosemite Conservancy and helped raise over $2K in just a few hours!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Going to Brasil for 2014 WORLD CUP! Woo Hoo! Stay tuned for more!

Interests

spontaneous random FUN, trying anything new, SNOWBOARDING, hiking, french bulldogs, hanging out with my dog, concerts, movies and film fests, museums, art galleries, abandoned places, rooftop picnics on abandoned buildings (the higher the better), electronic gadgets, volacanoes, art projects, photography, video, road trips, music festivals, coffee shops, hole in the wall places, making playlists for all occasions, making to do lists and crossing stuff off, moonlit walks (cheesy sounding but true), driving with nowhere to go, surprising myself, getting lost and finding my way back.
