CURRENT MISSION

Experience as much of the world as possible before the robot apocalypse. Because robot cooking is just terrible.

ABOUT ME

We are Hannah and Colin, 22 and 24 respectively, and are both Gainesville natives. We travel as frequently as we can (which is infrequently), but we do it very excitedly! We love music, but don't seem to see live bands nearly as much as we'd like to. We both work in the service industry as we're in school, but I really live to work in the studio at home. Painting, drawing, printing, sewing, making: these are the reasons I breathe.

We don't smoke!

Oh, and we are absolutely crazy about food.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn to make your own meaning before they try to sell it to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm very new to couchsurfing. While it happens at home my roommates or I have hosted travelers several times, this will be the first time when I'll be the stranger on the couch, so we're a little nervous, but very excited to take advantage of such a well-thought, streamlined program.

Interests

Learning languages, learning art history, making art history! dancing, climbing trees, baking bread, eating food so spicy it makes you sweat, sewing, flying kites!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up in the belly of a cloud at the top of a mountain covered in blueberries. I though it was raining, but it was just the drops falling off the leaves. Emerging, I remember wandering through the cold fog, and finding the bees that had been caught out at nightfall; they were still sluggish, and I could pet their tiny backs with my finger, until they would sleepily shrug it off.
