ABOUT ME

Vanessa; I was born and raised in Florida. Eventually bounced from Maryland, Louisiana, New Mexico, and California. I have an amazing boyfriend named Shawn and we have the cutest kid on the planet. I know people always think their kid is the cutest, but mine really is! I'm a student who loves animals, gardening,art, music, camping, hiking, and figuring out how to make my dreams come true.

Shawn; California raised, Florida transplant. Gaming nerd. Car enthusiast.

Diane; Vanessa's mom! Old hippie. Best Grandmother award. Gardening lover. Football fanatic. Ask me about my years living in a Tipi :)

Liam; loud, playful, curious 4 year old boy. He wakes up at 7am every day ready to experience life. Monday-Friday he is at school from 8:30-3:30. If you are going to be surfing here and this is not ideal, our home may not be a suitable match for your needs.

PHILOSOPHY

Non practicing Jew with a Buddhist mind set.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My family hosts, and I want to surf!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Each person we meet, near or far, takes up a little space in our hearts. So far we have been lucky enough to meet some really incredible people. Each time someone leaves to continue their adventure, we almost feel sad and know we will miss them. That's how you know true connections are being made with each experience!

Interests

Music. Art. Supernatural phenomena. Sustainability. Animals. Being in the water. Preparing to hike the A.T. Life experience education. Meeting new people, seeing new things.
