CLIFF'S NOTES:

I am a fun-loving, non-judgmental 30something looking to have adventures and see the world.

NOVEL VERSION:

My life was on the "normal" trajectory until a few years ago, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Having had cancer in my 20s really hit home how we don't know how much time we have and has created a greater sense of urgency for me to go after my dreams. One of my big dreams is to travel and have adventures and new experiences... so, here I am!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to do as much traveling as my budget will allow - and also look forward to meeting some friendly locals who can give advice on places to go and things to see (and a comfortable place to crash 😉 ).

And, I hope to pay it forward with anyone who wants to visit Maine!

Interests

Exploring new places, trying new things, meeting new people, having adventures.

I love camping and hiking; concerts and music; getting dolled up and going out; good wine, good cocktails, good food, and good conversation.
