Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couch surfing experiences in Turkey with several different people. Everyone was incredible. I also hosted several folks when I was living in Los Angeles. VIVA COUCH SURFING!

Interests

NOTE: list was made in 2008: playing pretend, little kids with big smiles and no teeth, going to the movies, watching movies, finding new music, all creatures big and small, training hunter/jumper horses, I have a small obsession with my prius.I grew up on the eastern seashore in the United States so I guess it goes without saying that I do love the beach. I especially love sitting on it at 2am after a long night with friends, surfing, the mountains, camping, hiking and all of that outdoorsy stuff too.I once chased a black bear cub on horseback in Montana. That was fun. Traveling as much as I can. the moon, the way a barn smells. I like buying things cheap and fixing them up but taking a really long time to do so in the process....
