I am a nurse living/working in Boston but love to escape the city whenever there's a chance The more I travel and learn about different people/places, the less I presume to know about the world. I laugh a lot- it keeps me young... I like to think that wine has the same effect but that's up for debate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The couchsurfing community has been so wonderful to me throughout my travels. I have met so many gracious, wonderful, inspiring people and am excited for those of you who I have yet to meet! I love exchanging stories, sharing experiences and talking with people who share this passion.

Interests

I have a strong passion for life and try to make the most of each opportunity that presents itself. I believe in the power of people and communities. I enjoy animals of all sorts, music of all sounds, and foods of all tastes. A wonderful evening to me is enjoying a few beers and conversations with people who have interesting tales to tell.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel very fortunate because there are a large number of moments that have left me with a feeling of awe. Driving through and then hiking in Taroko Gorge in Taiwan was an unparalleled experience. It is one of the most magnificent places with narrow paths carved from limestone cliffs and pristine streams running throughout.
