Hello! My name is Alyssa, i am currently in Washington state. I currently work as a pediatric nurse and have just recently started traveling again for my job! I've always had a huge interest in public health and working with kids, public health is actually what sparked my interest for travel!

When I'm not working at the hospital I LOVE to backpack/travel and meet new people! Super friendly, easygoing and open minded! I am always down for a great time and making new friends!

I love spontaneity, am extremely curious and love to explore hidden gems! I get lost about 80% of the time..haha but it's all part of the adventure! Huge foodie and always up for some good conversation over great food and drinks!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and get to know the local culture on a more personal level! Will be backpacking around Europe for a couple months.
