Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I also love hiking, and when I was 19, I walked from Mexico to Canada, following a continuous wilderness footpath called the Pacific Crest Trail. In the summers when I was 20 and 21, I hiked from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian Trail--and I LOVE hike and adventure, in new places. I look forward to all adventures to come, in this global community!
