About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world.

ABOUT ME

This profile is a two-for-one deal. Our names are Natalie and Theresa. As two students, there is a lot about this world that we wish to experience hands-on. Our number one priority in traveling is meeting people! We feel that the best way to get to know a country is getting to know the people within it. Our plan is to travel to 12 different countries, and make as many friends as we can along the way. We are both very active, laid back, open people who are ready to take on the adventure that life throws at us!

The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. ~St. Augustine
The knowledge of people and places is a nutriment to the mind. ~Leonardo Da Vinci

PHILOSOPHY

Always look on the bright side of life.
No matter what is getting you down, there is always something positive happening so you might as well focus on that instead!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We would love to couch surf while we are backpacking through Europe. In the future, we would love to host. But as of now, we live in a very small town in the middle of Missouri that has probably never seen a tourist unless they're stopping for gas. Once we move back the the city, though, our couches will be available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As of now, we have just sent our a few emails to fellow couch surfers in hopes to meet some people and find some couches for our trip. Everyone has been very nice so far!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow, hard to pick just one...

When I was in the Cayman Islands, I had the opportunity to swim with stingrays and even got a kiss from one (they say it's good luck!). First of all, the combination of the very clear ocean water and the sting rays gliding through was beautiful!

I hope to have many more stories to add soon!
