ABOUT ME

I'm a fun a bubbly gal who likes to explore the less touristy places. I'm always looking for new places to hang out around KC and love to visit my friends all over the country! I'm a Labor and Delivery nurse and absolutely LOVE my job! I also only have to work 3 nights a week so I have a lot of free time! My hubby and I love to ride around town on my scooter, cook great food, play board games, jam on the guitar and ukulele, urban exploration and hang out with friends! We would love to get to know some new friends from KC or anywhere else in this big beautiful world!

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't about getting ahead or about getting even. It's not about getting anything at all. It's about giving as much as you can because you have already been given as much as you need.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couch surfed once in houston and I had a lovely experience! I have hosted quite a few people many of them friends or friends of friends and some just new friends! Basically, when you are in my house, you are my friend! =)

Interests

I love making others feel comfortable and special. Yes, If I know it's your birthday, I WILL bake you a cake. Not just any cake, a delicious 4 layer cake with made from scratch buttercream frosting...that's just how I roll. Aside from my love of sweets, I'm also a pretty healthy person. I've been a vegetarian my whole life and love making tasty food! I also enjoy painting, and have actually recently sold a few paintings! =) I'm a big DIYer and like crafting of all sorts...which is where my knack for thrifting comes into play. Most my decor is made from things found at thrift stores! When I'm not delivering babies or baking or crafting, I like to hang out at coffee shops, shootin' the breeze with friends or reading a good book. In the summer time I try to garden...although I'm not very good at it. Oh and I love swing dancing, that's another passion of mine! So glad I live in a city with a pretty great dance scene!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many times that I am awestruck. maybe I'm just easily amazed, but seriously, I love watching the sunset or sunrise. I am constantly amazed how it is different every day. there are no two sunrises or sunsets that are the same! I am also awestruck with the human body and the miracle of life. I'm a labor nurse and I see babies being born all the time, but each birth still amazes me! The way God created us, the intricacies of each part of our bodies...WOW! I could talk your ear off about it, seriously, a woman's body simply creates a whole new organ (placenta) *from scratch* to ensure that the living being inside her gets nutrients. The baby starts as two cells...and 9 months later, boom! here is a living, breathing human, screaming it's lungs out! mind. blowing. (well at least for me)
