Hey! Yes, my real name is Sarah Journey but I go by Sam (don't ask).
I'm a bookworm turned solo female traveler (girl power!) - after years reading books about adventure, I finally wanted to experience adventure for myself!

I have a big heart, an open mind and a sassy mouth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Even though I'm traveling solo, I still would love to interact and live with locals to get a genuine and meaningful experience of a different culture.

Interests

I'm a geek for ancient civilizations, archaeology and foreign cultures in general. I've read and watched educational tv/movies about this stuff for fun since I was 8... so fun... for me....

Other geek-doms include: astrophysics (trippy "dark matter" stuff) and a bunch of other stuff I'm too lazy to think of and/or type.

• fish
• culture
• books
• dining
• movies
• reading
• tv

• fishing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: depends on my mood.

Movies: Good Will Hunting, LOTR, Star Wars (original 3), The Martian... Deadpool was hilarious!

Books: I read so much I can't keep track of favorites unless I spot one. But Phantom Tollbooth has been a love since childhood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fed a swarm of tropical fish in open waters - I'll never forget the tickling sensation on my fingertips as fish nibbled the food in my hand.
