Hi, I'm Tori. I'm a relaxed and low key kind of person. I like to garden, hike, do yoga, play boardgames, watch and talk about film, listen to podcasts, and generally spend lots of time outdoors. I've traveled a lot within the US: gone on about four cross country road trips, backpacked/camped in a bunch of national parks, lived in a few different places. Just to name a few places I've spent significant time... NYC, Ithaca, Big Bend, New Orleans, San Francisco, Hawaii, Grand Tetons, White Mountains, Philadelphia, Colorado High Rockies, Yosemite...
Outside of the US, I've only backpacked for a week in Costa Rica, so I have a lot more travel to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been fortunate to have some amazing hosts, although I have only hosted a couple of times. My current living situation is not conducive to it, but I'm hoping to change that within the next year. In the meantime, I'm happy to show people all that Austin has to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge film nerd. I watch films from all over the world, old and new, high brow and low brow...the Austin Film Society is like my second home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've backpacked by myself in Big Bend, Costa Rica, the White Mountains, and Yosemite. Not that I prefer traveling alone, but if I can't find the right person, I won't let that stop me.
