Greetings! My name is Vanessa, I am an avid traveler and thrill seeker of the outdoors. I've spent the past 7 months traveling around 19 US states and hiking all over 17 national and state parks. I love hiking and exploring the outdoors and fine arts (on my trip to France I spent 2 days trying to find every Monet painting in Paris). I am a creative and passionate soul who tries to live each day taking risks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the month of February I will be traveling around Southern Asia, I am meeting a few friends mid February so I will be looking for a place to stay for the first week of the month. I find the best adventures happen with new friends in strange and exciting places.

Interests

I love clubs with great dancing music, Latin, or techno are my favorites but am open to new and different clubbing experiences also. In the past a lot of my traveling has revolved around hiking, camping, hitchhiking, I called myself homeless by choice haha. This trip to Asia I'm looking for a slightly more civilized experience with a focus on exploring historical markers, and the culture of Hong Kong.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently in love with Kesha's latest album, and have a strong love for Dutch Techno and Reggeaton (I'm Puerto Rican so spanish music is the secret love of my life).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked across the Grand Canyon three different times. The first it took me 23 hours to hike 25 miles, the third time it took only 11 hours 45 minutes.

Countries I’ve Visited
