Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to promote couchsurfing. It's helped me so much in the last few years.
I have hosted a few times mostly I have surfed though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada with some awesome local Canadian Maritimers!. They showed me what garlic fingers were. Garlic fingers are a delicious pizza like snack only found in the Mari-times.

Couchsurfed all the way from Portland, Maine to Chicago, Illinois.

Couchsurfed in Iceland in the middle of winter.

Our favorite movie changes all the time. Our all time favorite could be "Paris, Texas" by Wim Wenders, my favorite movie right now is "Independence Day" it has the most moving speech that any President of the United States has ever said! haha we both started to cry when we watched it.

Favorite books are art books I love going to the painting section of a library and spending an entire afternoon flipping through books. I wish I could afford them though! ha
Favorite novel is probably Master and the Margareta by Mikhail Bulgakov.
I haven't read many novels lately I've been reading more poetry. Wyslawa Szymborska, Zbigniew Herbert, Robert Frost, dylan thomas, Elizabeth Bishop

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This summer we biked all the way from Dresden to Prague to Vienna to Salzburg and back to Germany! It was crazy and amazing we saw so many castles and mountains and butterflies and rivers. By the end of the trip we were actually tired of seeing Castles.
