Hey,
I'm Becca I live in the humble little southern state of Tassie, on a gorgeous cherry orchard that is equal distance from the beach and the bush. I enjoy a good city but in my heart can't wait to get out to small towns, deserted beaches and high mountains. I'd like to say I'm an opptomistic, easy going, bright kinda person.
I'm a nurse by trade though I quit my job to embark on a few months travel starting in Sri Lanka and now in Europe.
This is my first time on couchsurfer. I've been pretty lucky to have been able to couchsurf with friends I met when I did my exchange in Costa Rica and people my family has hosted. Nothing makes a town or place more alive and appreciated than when you get to explore it with the locals.
I've just met up with my chirpy, pink haird school friend Ira who has been traveling/living (Germany ) in Europe for the past 15 months. We're spending September together traveling through Europe and we can't imagine traveling without meeting up with a whole variety of people along the way.

Pura Vida

Teach, Learn, Share

As a nurse you are privy to the most intimate, life changing, romantic, horrific, heart breaking moments of a person's life. Finding out someone's story, what they have to teach and share is what makes my world go round.
