About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and meet new people

ABOUT ME

I'm very laid back, love meeting new people, and having new experiences! I'm originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA but now currently living in Milwaukee, WI. I work as a nurse in a hospital and I'm also a part-time nurse practitioner student. I studied abroad in England in fall 2012 and it was some of the best 4 months of my life! Once you've had a taste of traveling you just want more and more. I will never forget that time in my life and I am so excited to see what the future has in store for me.

PHILOSOPHY

I always try to keep the mood light and the laughs plentiful. :)I love being silly and wacky, but I also love having deep conversations about real topics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting and surfing allow me to gain fresh perspectives on my own life as well as the lives of others in different areas of the world. Each experience helps me to grow as a person.

Interests

Playing the piano and percussion, listening to music, playing lawn/board games, enjoying nature, frolfing, biking, crossfit, cooking, going out to eat/being a foodie, going to concerts, comedy shows, and drag shows!
