I am a traveling artist living in her van (sometimes down by the river) but normally in free camping spots and friends driveways. I travel fulltime in order to network and freelance my artwork and absolutely love meeting like minded people who live life a little differently or at least appreciate alternative lifestyles. I love coffee, climbing rocks, burritos, cats and napping in hammocks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was told this is a good community to meet people and occasionally have a place to crash or grab a nice shower. So why not try it??

I've been reading a lot of Ray Bradbury and Augusten Burroughs lately. Sci-fi and autobiographies are my favorite genres.
Currently reading: Walden by Henry David Thoreau
Movies: Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko, Dazed and Confused.... I don't watch too much TV anymore since living on the road though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit all my jobs (I worked 50+ hours a week before what I do now) 4 months ago and hopped into a van to travel indefinitely! I have made my living by freelancing/commissioning my art and selling pieces I've already made. It's been one hell of a journey and I couldn't imagine living life another way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories, contagious smiles, my weird art and I love to cook! (Although I'm vegetarian I still make a mean meal.) but yeah if you like weird, strange, dark but whimsical things then you'll love my art. Www.lynsweetart.com check it out!
