This profile started as just mine (Miranda's) but since Spencer & I are a kickass team when it comes to hosting and traveling together, it's really grown to be both of ours. I've answered the questions below, but a lot of the reviews are from people who have gotten to know the two of us together.

Spencer is a quiet guy who, unlike me, doesn't volunteer a lot of information about himself, but if you take the time & ask enough questions to get to know him you will discover he is an incredibly kind, peaceful, & thoughtful person.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

To experience new places on a deeper level. To share the places I enjoy with others. To connect with folks from all walks of life. To learn, share, and grow. Which is really what life is all about.

Интересы

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Backpacked all 272 miles of The Long Trail end-to-end through record-breaking rainfall. It took me, five friends, and two dogs 33 days to complete.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I can teach you basic wilderness survival skills (which everyone should have!)

I can help you with writing and editing fiction, nonfiction, academic papers, resumes, & pretty much anything else

I can teach you about vegetarian nutrition & share some recipes. I promise I won't be preachy. I don't judge what others eat, but will share my knowledge if asked.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

Good conversation, adventure stories, positivity, and an open heart.
