Hi! My name's Lydia. I'm a recent graduate from the University of Montevallo seeking employment, adventure, and good company. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to move out of Alabama and find a supportive and creative community to call home! I'm couch surfing in order to live among locals in several different communities in order to determine where I should settle down.

Interests

My favorite thing to do when I travel is just talk to people! The exchange of speaking and listening to others is truly priceless. I also enjoy cooking, singing, and a good beer or glass of wine.

Being on the water is where I most truly feel at home! So count me in for swimming, boating, fishing, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I'm the most proud of the work I've done with charity. I have planned and completed fundraisers for some amazing organizations - including Ronald McDonald House Charities, The No More Campaign, Hands On Birmingham, Birmingham AIDS Outreach, The It Gets Better Project, The Crisis Center of Birmingham, and GLSEN.

Teach, Learn, Share

If anyone could share job opportunities with me while I travel looking for employment, that would be a huge help! But all I truly need is a place to lay my head. Everything else is icing on the cake.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food. Beer. Wine. Shots. Laughter. Stories. Vulnerability. Love. Memories.
