ABOUT ME

Natalie on Paige:

She is a clever and interesting person, in all the best ways. She is my guiding compass, and in this I mean she can always point the way, whether that be on a map in a foreign city to our destination, or on the path to being a calmer, and a generally more peaceful human. She is kind and excellent with all walks of life. She enjoys these things, food, movies, talks (not so much about politics), ART, traveling the world and music. I am sad for anyone who doesn't get the chance to hang with her.

Paige on Natalie:

As you read above, sometimes Natalie can be a bit "cheesey," but don't get me wrong - her love of laughter & getting to know people is genuine. Natalie enjoys traveling, spending time with friends & kids, good food, coffee, wine, and celebrating the things that are important - birthdays, holidays, and life in general. Let's just say it's guaranteed to be a fun and interesting time when Natalie's around! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch surfing to me is more than just this website. If I meet someone on a train traveling from lands far away (or nearby), it is important to me to offer a smile, a piece of advice or an invitation to a cool event. It's helping the world be a friendlier place. Walking the walk as they say.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had crazy but wonderful couchsurfing times on our journey through Europe. Hope to host now that we back, and check out more couches on my next trip (maybe South America?) Can't seem to stay away from Spain though :)
