We live in beautiful Humboldt County (redwood country). Elena works at an elementary school and is on summer break, Bobby is a recent Botany graduate. We are planning a road trip to Washington and BC where we plan to do lots of hiking, botanizing, swimming, exploring!

We're triple vaccinated, very mindful about covid (will be traveling with some rapid tests if anybody would like us to test before meeting) and prefer others who are on the same page.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Elena was a Couchsurfing host in college and then used it to surf and meet people all over the world. Through it have made some great friends and had so many wonderful experiences. We like to network with people who share common interests and values.

Bobby: Music, plants, fungi

Elena: Helping people (especially children) learn communication and emotional regulation skills, including nonviolent communication, restorative justice, and mindfulness.
Hiking, biking, swimming, fitness, sports, spending time in nature.
Community living, mutual aid, relationships
Philosophy, psychology,

• education
• botany

Music, Movies, and Books

We love most types of music!
For movies/shows tend to go for comedy and fantasy/supernatural- Umbrella Academy is a recent favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Elena: Lived in the Kalalau valley on the Na Pali coast in Kauai. Paradise!

Bobby: Drove some random dude named the Mighty Samson's van from Mississippi to New York, almost got locked in a Walmart during a tornado, drove through Amish country, and spent a week at his childhood friend's house where I shot my first and only beer can and and began writing a since-aborted dystopian sci-fi novel

Teach, Learn, Share

Bobby can teach you all about plants and fungi, as well as help you find new music to listen to. Elena can cook and play music for you if you have any instruments with keys or strings

We are both queer and practice ethical non-monogamy/polyamory, can share a lot about that. We are not on here looking for a hookup!

What I Can Share with Hosts

help doing dishes, cooking, walking your dog, playing with your kids, etc...Mostly hope to share some good conversation and company.

We strive to be low-key, self-sufficient guests and be the opposite of a burden.
