My name is Shalyn (Shay-Lynn) and I'm from central Nebraska. I'm a Nerdfighter, amateur blogger, and lover of the internet.
I have 2 different colored eyes, a bionic arm, and bleach blonde hair that I keep shaving because I don't have the patience to grow it back out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have lived here my whole life as have several generations of my family. I love my close knit community, but I have always dreamed of living somewhere else. I'm looking to find communities similar to mine in other parts of the country, or even world! I am especially interested in relocating to the either Washington or Maine in the next year.
