Hello, my name is Marissa and first began using couchsurfing during a month long road trip across the U.S.! I had several people host my best friends and I during this time and we have returned the favor before with other fellow couch surfers since returning home to Florida. I have lived, attended school, and worked in the Daytona Beach area my entire life and now it’s time for the next adventure. The best time is spent shared or outdoors. Or both. My best friend/sidekick Kylie and I aspire to live plant-based sustainable lifestyles. Along with obtaining a higher education I love my job as a bartender (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling the Western United states with my best friend is what brought me here in the first place, now I would like to give the opportunity to others for a cozy and welcoming stay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've survived my whole life living in the shark bite capital and lightning strike capital of the world. Oh and a few dozen hurricanes as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share plenty of knowledge about holistic care, plants, the environment, and living a plant-based life. We also have lots to tell about our travels so far! Most importantly we're good listeners too and love to hear new perspectives and information.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Random facts and plenty of smiles (:
