Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Can't wait to have a better "couch" option in the near future - I love meeting people from all over the world! I'm currently looking to connect with others over coffee, wine, or good food.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed in Australia - second place a bit dingy and creepy-crawly, but it was a roof over my head. First place was amazing! Couch surfed with an amazing girl in Connecticut - the best experience so far!

Interests

I am an "aquatarian" (vegetarian that eats fish), love to do yoga (particulary vinyassa flow), stay active; LOVE animals, especially horses and dogs - own a cat now (still a kitten); moved to Austin for the lifestyle (a lot of outdoor activities, open-minded educated people, mild winters, country/live music)
