Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By sharing my couch and random, fun times with other travelers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never couchsurfed myself, but I have had friends do it who have had really positive experiences. Hearing their stories made me want to try surfing myself and to offer up my couch to other travelers in order to see a different side of the countries I visit!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Machu Picchu was incredible... but spending the last year living in England and traveling around has been pretty amazing too

Teach, Learn, Share

the most spectacular recipe for tortillas EVER:

-2 cups flour
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 cup softened butter
-3/4 cup warm water (approximately)

add the dry ingredients together, then rub the butter into the dry mixed, then slowly add the warm water (works best and is the most fun if you mix it with your hands. dont forget to wash!)
