About Me

Hi There.

I am relatively new to couch surfing. I've used it once or twice before many years ago and loved it. I met some really amazing people along the way. I decided to head back to school and am studying nursing this year. It has been an interesting year. I'm loving school but definitely missing traveling. I love meeting new people and seeing new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Now that I'm in school I need to be a little wiser in my spending habits but I don't want to lose my urge to travel, so I joined couch surfing. Plus I think it's a pretty awesome way to get to know the local as opposed the touristy stuff. Unfortunately at this time I can't offer a couch. I live with some roommates who aren't as open to the idea.

Music, Movies, and Books

To be honest this is a tough question. I love a variety of music.. although country is probably not my favourite. I'm terrible at choosing a favourite movie. I love all types of them except horror. I've found as I get older they frighten me even more. haha. This past year I've been reading a ton of textbooks. Not overly thrilling. I've been reading lots of autobiographies. And am currently reading Shantaram and it's going pretty good so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Packed up my bags and moved to South Korea to teach English. I didn't know a soul and knew nothing about Korea. It was amazing. I made life long friends over there and ended up staying for a few years. It really brought out the travel bug in me and I continued to explore the world once I left there.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be open to new things, but never be afraid to say no.
