CURRENT MISSION

To see as many bizarre, quirky traditional European celebrations as possible.

Hey everyone!

My name is Bonnie and I'm originally from the USA. I left my country the day before the 2016 Presidential Election, and spent that winter traveling all over Western and Eastern Europe on a quest to see as many pagan winter and spring celebrations as possible. I now live in beautiful Northern England, and come May I will be moving to Australia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I've been traveling awhile now I'm just getting back into couch-surfing.

Interests

I love reading, writing, and photography; biking is my LIFE and my means of transportation; there's nothing I enjoy more than hiking and exploring new areas.

I actively seek out obscure or little-known towns and/or attractions and challenge myself to get there.
