CURRENT MISSION

I love everyone, I love meeting new people, and I love helping people out. I know hotels can be so expensive, and it can be such a barrier towards traveling, so helping out as much as I can on other people's adventure is a fantastic feeling.

ABOUT ME

My name is Lucy Agnew, I'm a pretty simple person I guess. I play the viola (a stringed instrument), and I fiddle on the side (somewhat of a beginner). I love all music; classical, jazz, rap, and bluegrass, the list goes on and on.
I love reading as well, my favorite book so far is East of Eden by John Steinbeck. It wasn't until recently that I began reading all the time. It was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I love just hanging out, and learning things everyday. So my home is welcomed to everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to hang out mainly. Helping other people, genuinely makes me feel amazing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live with my parents, but they are just as welcoming as I am. They are actually the ones who came up with the idea of hosting our house for couch surfing. When my mom told me she was open to the idea of hosting our house, I was ecstatic. And used my persuasive skills to finally convince her to say yes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My parents and myself are completely new to this experience.My sister, Abigail is the one who introduced this whole website to us. She has had a number of couch surfers come to her house, and she has introduced me to a few of her couchsurfers. Each person, that I had met was so lovely and kind. I am excited to get the opportunity to help out people and learn all different types of things.

Interests

Lately I've really been interested in juicing! Juicing is when you get fruits and vegetables (or any food for that matter), but you put them into a juicing machine and it makes it into a juice. It breaks down the nutrients and into one drink. I'm also interested in going to all different types of parks, I love climbing trees and going on hikes and trails.

Music, Movies, and Books

I guess I said the music types I like, but to be specific Beethoven is a man I've loved since I was a little child. Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, and Dizzy Gillespie are all wonderful jazz musicians. Mos Def, Biggie Smalls, and Immortal Technique are some hip-hop artists I also enjoy quite a bit. I also like old country music such as Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, and Pasty Cline. Some other bands I love though are Wilco, Grizzly Bear, The Band, The Smiths, The Clash, and Zaz.
I love all types of movies. I could watch documentaries all day, The Dust Bowl is probably one of my favorites in that genre. Quinton Terrintino, Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, and Mel Brooks are definitely in the top five of my favorite directors. There's nothing that can make me feel better on a sad rainy day than a funny movie.
I've been reading a lot of John Steinbeck lately. I love his writing style. I love reading classic literature as well as memoirs and biographies.That's the great thing about the world of literature, there's an endless amount of exploration that can be done within it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have participated in growing up as the youngest of nine children. It was pretty tough, but I got through it, which was amazing to me. It was amazing to me because learning to deal with all different types of people was so difficult, even though they're my siblings.
