Hi everyone! My name is Alena Horowitz and I was raised in the beautiful house posted on this profile. I’m really interested in couch-surfing in other cities and countries. Our beautiful home is 30 minutes outside of Sandpoint, Idaho. My mom, Jackie and brother, Aaron both live there when the house is not rented on VRBO.

I travel the world collecting beautiful one of a kind, handmade items from cultures all over and then sell them at music festivals in the USA. My business is called THE WAVY BUNCH and I’m so lucky to do what I do. The colors and cultures of this world give me life.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I’m really interested in couch-surfing to meet local people while saving money! I would love to couch-surf and meet as many new friends as possible, and experience the places I travel through the eyes of locals. I would love to learn new languages, talk about your cultures and history, and make traditional local food as well. :)

兴趣

I love design of all kinds. Architecture, fashion, graphic design, poetry, and written-word arts are all huge parts of my education. I also love the business side of things and have learned much about lean start-up methods for entrepreneurs. Ideas are always popping into my mind and I love finding “idea people” that have their own ideas to share. Talking about ideas with people is one of my favorite things to do.

音乐、电影和书籍

I enjoy live bands at the local breweries as well as going out on the town for various events. I like to keep busy so I’m never “bored.” I’m down to check out any local band, restaurant, arts, entertainment and I accept invitations to write blog posts about events, entertainment, travel, culture and fashion.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

When I was nine years old, I wrote a 65-page children’s book titled, “The TLYTIETTLYM Tree.” That’s an acronym for The Love You Take Is Equal To The Love You Make. After I illustrated the book at age 12, it was published! I see this as one of my greatest accomplishments.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love laughing, singing, children, swimming and going out to dance. We can share our smiles, stories, happiness and love of adventure. I will likely not need to stay more than a couple nights in each place.
