Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just starting out in this thing called the Real World, but I find all my efforts and savings are going into ways that I can start traveling again. Currently, I'm couchsurfing with the hopes of graciously snagging friendly people's couches across the world. Eventually (when I'm not living out of a suitcase), I'd be more than happy to host travelers like myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed with a friend once in Edinburgh and had the most amazing time! We were hosted by a wonderful, friendly, worldly, generous couple who lived in a fishing village just half an hour by bus into the city. Perfection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's just such an overwhelmingly positive feeling when exploring another country for the first time and seeing the sights. When I first saw places like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and St. Paul's Cathedral in London, I nearly cried at how beautiful it all was, and how desperately I'd wanted to see it all my life.

More recently, I got the chance to see the majesty of the Austrian alps where I experienced overwhelming beauty, the quaint village, and complete peacefulness. (As well as all the Sound of Music flashbacks I could handle.)

Teach, Learn, Share

My interests definitely fall into the line of the "artsy fartsy" realm. I love talking about theatre, design, and advertising/social media, and am still figuring out how to work my camera. (Any help would be greatly appreciated!)

History, tourist traps, hole-in-the-wall areas only the locals know about, nightlife, good food (on a budget!), etc. I'm game for anything I can see/do/learn. Bring on the new experiences.
