ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old traveling through Central America and the US in 2014 with my boyfriend Lewis. I am a photographer and studying Montessori Education. Lewis is a primary school teacher and musician.

We are interested in art, music and getting out amongst nature. We can't wait to explore these parts of the world and meet new people, and we are planning to work on some projects together while we're traveling and finding beautiful spots to settle for a while.

We are also going to study Spanish so hopefully we can pick some up!

PHILOSOPHY

Take each day as it comes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The only way I've been able to give back to couch surfers so far is cooking meals and sharing experiences. Unfortunately I haven't been able to host anyone yet as my living arrangements haven't allowed it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far all of my couchsurfing experiences have been positive. Whether it be staying on their couch or meeting up for coffee or at a couchsurfing event every one has been open and warm.
It seems to me that couchsurfing attracts an astounding amount of generosity and honesty.
I really think it is an incredible site and fantastic way to meet new people and experience different cultures!
