Couch Available: Yes Preferred Gender: Any Max Surfers Per Night: 99
Shared Sleeping Surface: Depends Shared Room: DependsI have a couch, a floor, and plenty of land for camping. Privacy depends on how many people are here at the time. A "couch" to surf with me all depends on your flexibility. I live in the country near to Greensburg, PA. Let me know your plans and maybe we can get a raft trip in as well. Best to give at least one week notice as I am unsure how often I will get to my email each week. Last minute might luck out. Ohiopyle is about an hour south of Pittsburgh and has plenty to do. Rock climbing, Mt. Biking, paintball, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, fishing, hiking, on and on and on. It is also located on the "Rails-to-Trails" system and "Falling Water"(a Frank Lloyd Wright house)is just outside of town. Friends (79)

From VIAJEN London, United Kingdom May 27, 2007 Positive Bridget is one of the strongest women I've ever met -- she knows what she wants and she isn't afraid to go after it, which is inspiring. I really enjoyed spending time with her at the Collective & I appreciate all the hard work she put into managing the house. Bridget rocks!
From KEITHWANDERS Atlanta, United States May 25, 2007 Positive Bridget was the awesome house coordinator for the NZ Collective and now she's the awesome coordinator for our living room. We've lived together for 4 months and she still amazes me with her inner strength and kindness.

From Bruno Boulandet Paris, France Apr 30, 2007 Positive She's a infinite-layer onion or she's got a random generator built-in :) Bridget is unforeseeable is all the ways this word can cover.
You think she's a wicked crazy shameless girl covered by tatoos who behaves in a way that'd probably send her to jail in less than 10 minutes in the US ? Fuck yeah she is ! You think that defines her ? Buuuuzzzzz !!! Wrong answer :) Bridget can hardly be define by words. She's of course damn too complex for 26 letters. And even in Japanese, we would need a new Kanji for Bridget as 5000 sounds quite a little short... That would be something like funny-rad-wicked-generous-bitchie
-great-bigmouth-wonderful-coarse-smart
-insane-genuine- (to complete)... I'd love her to bits if I had any fucking idea what the bits are. So let's say I love the ones I know and look forward to find about all the others anytime :)
From Jaycob Brown Nelson, New Zealand Apr 29, 2007 Positive Bridg is both forthwright and all encompassing, she wakes you up to the wider world, she shocks me and secretly delights me. i wouldn't have her any other way!
From Hannah Vogel Dunedin, New Zealand Apr 26, 2007 Positive this girl has the kindest heart ever! she's always making sure everyone is taken care of and where they need to be and would bend over backwards to make it happen...she also has some of the greatest stories i have ever heard, she has lead quite an amazing life, anyone and everyone can and should take notes and learn a thing or two...
From Hillary Murray Menlo Park, United States Apr 12, 2007 Positive Very few people in the world impress me the way Bridget does. She inspires me to live NOW, to love unconditionally, to stay positive. On the surface you'll see a strong woman, inside you'll see a giddy child with the biggest of hearts. Raw, humble, and absolutely loveable she is! I want this woman to stay in my life.
From SUNFLOWERSISTER Folsom, United States Apr 1, 2007 Positive Bridget is amazing. She has the most awesome ability to see the good in others. Very creative and positive. Her talent for getting directions from people in cars whooshing by while she's driving fast herself really impressed me! No one in the world like Bridget. No one. :-)
From Andrew Lai Grande Prairie, Canada Mar 29, 2007 Positive Bridget is uniquely Bridget and nothing less. She's always constantly surprising me in her actions, conversations and/or just hilarity. Not short in greatness this girl. One day, I'll step into the cage ;)
From Heather O'Brien San Francisco, United States Mar 27, 2007 Positive Bridgit is doing an amazing job at holding the CSC world on her shoulders... plus she's got really sexy ink.

From miriam s*ometimes Vienna, Austria Mar 24, 2007 Positive B is that passionate...ok, very insane person who doesn't care about her own health but for everything & everyone else. straightforward, well traveled and experienced, crazy driving and a bigmouth with a big heart....
every one should have a B in her/his house, but help her to get healthy soon!!
From Diane Emerson North Shore, New Zealand Mar 20, 2007 Positive Bridget is a fascinating combination of tough and tender. Don't be fooled by the tatts. Underneath a tough brave exterior, Bridget is just as sensitive to emotional pain and wanting peace and harmony in her life as the rest of us.
From Joshua Adair Austin, United States Mar 19, 2007 Positive B is a doer and a shaker and a booty breaker. Brings a laugh to everyone and makes out with a lot of necks. Not shy about anything, and jumps headfirst into whatever its about. Despite the initial craziness shes a real deep girl with great thoughts and amazing experiences all over the world.
From ANU* Helsinki, Finland Mar 19, 2007 Positive Bridge is the glue that holds this household together - reminding us all what we came here for: It's not all about the software & cyberworld but the amazing people you're surrounded by that makes it all so special!
The best house manager I've ever had! :)
From Eric Wootton Prescott, United States Mar 17, 2007 Positive Bridgette is one wild and crazy girl! She will keep you laughing and entertained for ever, and when it's time to get down to business she knows how to run a meeting pretty dang well as well.

Mett her ..she's wonderful
From Christine Hinterlang Vienna, Austria Mar 12, 2007 Positive Bridget took me along to do the shopping for the house at the CSC NZ. She provided me with my first real NZ shopping experience. And rescued me from the temptation to buy nonsense in evil wal-mart'esque institutions. She's full of stories and positive energy. Was great to have met and I hope to see her again.
From Matthew Nash Brighton, United Kingdom Mar 7, 2007 Positive it seems bridget has led an interesting life- she kept me enthralled with some great stories, nice body art, and quirky ideas. please, i want some more!
From Richard Jeong Washington, United States Mar 5, 2007 Positive Bridget loves the people. I met her when as she was the house coordinator for the Nelson collective and she really took the job to heart. Even when she frustrated by the apathy of some people and the lack of buy in, she's a wonderfully devoted women!
From Ben Bachelder McMurdo Station, Antarctica Mar 2, 2007 Positive Bridget, sweet Bridget. She's quite the lovable handful. I dare say there is more than meets the eye with this one =)
From DIGS Portland, United States Feb 28, 2007 Positive Dude. You know those kids whose favorite subject was always recess? And you go, "hey that's not a subject." Well what if they grew up and got really really good at it? That's Bridget. Make way, and enjoy.
From the rachel Berkeley, United States Feb 27, 2007 Positive Bridget takes so much seriously, & so much ridiculously. Whether her energy is up or down, she always emits good vibes, even when she claims she's being negative. This woman is anything but! She's thoughtful, brave, & kick ass beyond belief. AND SHE IS DIRTY! DIRTY, I TELL YOU! In that really fun way :)
From Mattthew Brauer Berkeley, United States Feb 26, 2007 Positive Bridget took a punch to the face for CS and just kept smiling. How many people can say that? Down to earth, super positive, funny, and chill. We had a great time hanging out and it was all too short.
From OMG_IT'S_JULIE!!! San Francisco, United States Feb 26, 2007 Positive Bridget is an amazing person. A little bit shy at first but when she gets comfortable she is off the hook!!!! She has these amazing stories and makes me laugh all the time:D I'm so glad to have met Bridget she truly is an awesome gal !!! I LOVE her :D
From NORAHS2009 Petaling Jaya, Malaysia Feb 23, 2007 Positive She came to pick me up at the bus station with a certain French dude :D We sized each other up in our own (ok my own quiet) ways....one thing led to another and now we share a bed LOL! OK :grin:...on a more serious note *cough*, Bridget is a good-hearted individual who would go to lengths to help you out. She's a riot to work with, and has the most natural, instantaneous and genuine ability to warm up to people she interacts with (for which I am seriously lacking). Above all the laughs and jokes, therein lies a girl with much deep insights and ideals which is all too familiar with mine. I guess that's why we get along with each other soooo well. There isn't a dull moment when Bridget is around! *HUG*s!
From Casey Fenton Homer, United States Feb 23, 2007 Positive Bridget entertains me daily with something completely unexpected and original. I can't wait to see what she comes up with tomorrow.
From HungrySteve Portland, United States Feb 15, 2007 Positive Bridget is pretty awesome. She totally reminds me of the girl version of Dusty from Twister. What a sense of humor, she makes me laugh every time I talk to her. We have a lot in common like getting really drunk and saying things that are probably inappropriate but charming personalities make it hard for anyone to get upset. She is edgy and I love people that edgy, she kinds of pushes some borders and I think it is sweet. Oh and she greeted me with a gift, a whole carton of sweet sweet Lucky Strikes. How can you not love Bridget?
From Kristen W Auckland, New Zealand Feb 13, 2007 Positive great sort!!
From OH DONNA Chico, United States Feb 12, 2007 Positive Well from the minute I met Bridget I knew that she was a "horse of a different color" and I wasn't sure why. As I got to know her a little more I realized that she is a young woman who sets her bar high and leaps over it with all she has, and it seems to me she clears that bar. She is sensitive, funny, smart, organized, helpful, generous, talented and caring. Bridget simply amazed me in the end! I hope I have the chance to know her more.. And for her next trick she will master the Art of Feng Shui.. :)
From Amylin Loglisci Avignon, France Feb 10, 2007 Positive Anything but typical... Bridget is a giver, a mover, and a shaker.
From Dave G Sydney, Australia Feb 2, 2007 Positive B worries that she's not a 'real traveller' - in fact she isn't anything as ordinary as that - she's an adventurer, simple as that. Having finally escaped the gravitational pull of North America she has embarked on a worthy cause to assist with the CS Collective in NZ. No doubt she is also cheering the Kiwis in the One Day Series - sorry B we're gonna beat ya.
From James S Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom Jan 30, 2007 Positive she says 'ok' a lot...
From Justin Ryan Christchurch, New Zealand Jan 28, 2007 Positive Great spirit for life and fun to travel with. She now knows what a yacht is and the fact the chicken came before the egg!!!
From Kamel Boughaleb Paris, France Jan 27, 2007 Positive pending until I will read hers ;)
From Ania Sitarski Bangor, United States Jan 17, 2007 Positive What can I say about Bridget? She is an amazing lady full of life and adventure. She has seen so much of the world and has hunger to see even more. She is great to talk to and very easy to get to know. She was awesome to have stay and was very understanding of my busy schedule and always was up for every crazy idea, poor thing had to go rough it for a night with some friends camping on the beach at the northshore. She was one of those wonderfully rare people thatI met and felt I had always known. Good luck Bridget and hopefully we run into each other again in this wonderful world. Keep seizing the day!
From Bobbee Phung Sydney, Australia Jan 15, 2007 Positive Bridget is a fun girl who can take you into a deep conversation. Lovely girl to be around. See you in New Zealand!
From Stefan Vos Los Angeles, United States Jan 15, 2007 Positive Bridget is hilarious and has a lot of great stories to tell. She's very accomodating when it comes to hanging out and doing things.
From Michelle Williams Honolulu, United States Jan 15, 2007 Positive Bridget does not sit back and talk about adventure - she lives it! Spend some time with this sublimely cool, astute and worldly woman and live vicariously through her life on roads less travelled. It was fantastic to meet you and spend some memorable times with you, Bridget...I will be knocking on your door in New Zealand!
From TANGODEVA South San Francisco, United States Jan 11, 2007 Seems like a very nice person. She is certainly interesting and very outgoing!
From Peggy Liu Los Angeles, United States Jan 8, 2007 Positive She's really kicked back and easy going. We had a pretty fun weekend cooking up a storm at my friend's house. Miso soup and extreme bowling - what a memorable night!
From Jennifer Daniels Boulder, United States Aug 11, 2006 Positive She was "The One" who introduced me to the whole couch surfing phenomena, a true traveler at heart surfing couchs before there was such a site. Im thankful for all her insighs and info, much love Bridget, hope everything is going well with you!!
From Nicole Simon Azusa, United States Jul 19, 2006 Sister Spirit. Bridg, as I like to call her, is a burst of excitemnet and energy. She's a caring and considerate friend who likes to experience life. A true traveler also!!
From Claude Phillips Kailua, United States Jul 19, 2006 Nomad. Bridget showed up and she and I have had a few crazy nights. She is now a resident of the Pacific Ocean on a cruise ship and drops me a line every time she is in port. A good friend and honest person. |
