Hello, I have been working as a production potter and pet sitter, in California for the past three years. I am taking a travel break to visit Europe, New Zeland and Australia. I am excited to be a minimalist traveler and live out of a backpack for a few months. I just finished a month long road trip and tour of the National Parks in western United States. I love being out in nature, hiking, camping, gardening, and birdwatching. I am a super laid back respectful and tidy house guest who loves to cook.

Looking forward to meeting you!
Stephanie

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I am Couchsurfing because I believe when you travel it is so important to get a local experience. Meeting people and staying with them is the best way to discover new places. I stayed with a host family in Dharamshala India and it was wonderful. I will choose a rich cultural experience over a hotel every time.
