Living life to the fullest! (or at least doing my best at it). My name is Tessa and I am from a small lake town in Michigan. I now live just outside the city of Grand Rapids with my partner in crime, Alex. Together, we are trying to see as much of the world as we can! We both love meeting new people and experiencing new cultures, including foods, music, markets, and anything we come across. We do like to plan some things, but for the most part we just go with the flow. We both love animals (especially our dogs) and all things outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to experience the world on a small budget. I figured it wouldn't hurt to see if I could travel a little cheaper and meet cool people along the way.

Interests

My interests mostly involve the outdoors: adventuring/exploring, hiking, kayaking, and camping. But I also enjoy: photography, reading, and writing. I love saving animals and nursing them back to health at my job in an emergency vet clinic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a teenager, I participated in an exchange program to Hawaii through my 4H club . The trip was packed with unforgettable experiences, including preparing a new poi field.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always looking to hear stories of other peoples' adventures and learn something new from them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share my own tales of adventure and little tricks I've learned along the way. Any guests of ours will have a private room, with a couch, blankets and pillow, and a TV. As well as, full access to the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room.
