Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and hosting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In summer 2008, my sisters and I were blessed to find some really great hosts as we traveled in London and around Italy. In August 2009, my brother and I surfed in a Chicago apartment during Lollapalooza weekend with about 20 other people! I also surfed while traveling in South America.
I hosted while living in San Diego, Philadelphia, and Portland, Oregon. It's so rewarding to give back to the community and to show off what you love about your city!

MUSIC: Favorite bands are TOOL, Radiohead, Fiona Apple, The Smiths, PJ Harvey, Fugazi, My Morning Jacket, The Mars Volta, Smashing Pumpkins, Tori Amos.

BOOKS: "Vagabonding" by Rolf Potts is an absolute must for anyone who dreams of traveling the world. Some favorite grammar-nerd books: "Lapsing into a Comma," "Eats, Shoots & Leaves"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove across the country from Pennsylvania to California, taking a southern route with stops at caverns and an underground lake in Virginia, toured Elvis' mansion at Graceland, went horseback riding in a canyon in Texas, saw the red rocks in Sedona, Arizona, hiked down into the Grand Canyon and won $300 on a slot machine in Vegas! Since then, I´ve driven the northern route across the U.S. twice, discovering Yellowstone, one of my favorite places in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a grammar nerd. I also know lots about yoga, exercise and nutrition.

I'd like to learn more about farming and gardening.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I took an awesome Thai cooking class and would love to make you a tasty meal. I'm also very happy to share my love of yoga if you would like to learn.
