CURRENT MISSION

Make a really long list of good people I've met

ABOUT ME

"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." - Douglas Adams

My name is Liz, and I've spent most of my life in the southern part of the United States. I am.....a writer/photographer/bad musician/bad dancer/decent person who enjoys forward slashes a lot...and who has been stationary for entirely too long. Basically, I just kind of want to meet as many people as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

The meaning of life is to live it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't yet, I just signed up. BUT I'd love to show you around my city and be shown around yours!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I actually haven't couchsurfed yet! My boyfriend spent about eight months couch surfing in Europe and has encouraged me to try it for my next travels. So I am!

Interests

Oh boy. I'm interested in...people, personal philosophies, literature, really good music, sitting around bonfires with good people and some guitars/harmonicas/etc, learning new things, good movies, so-bad-they're-good movies, art, the personal interests and talents of others, human rights, animal welfare. Also Sarah Palin. I'd like to follow her around and record everything she says for my personal entertainment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Aw. I feel inadequate.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to properly avoid folding laundry, or how to turn any Twilight movie into a fantastic drinking game. I can also play a couple of entertaining guitar chords.

I'd really like to learn anything someone's willing to teach me. But if it's how to play the ukelele, then I'll be way more enthusiastic.
