I have a lust for life and want to experience all that I can while I’m here. I’m kind, courteous, creative, and have a big heart. I'm a chronic daydreamer turned writer. I love to laugh and do it often. I'm also ambitious and find inventive ways to accomplish what I want or need to do. I enjoy fitness including strength training, yoga, and cardio. I often like to be outdoors exploring during warmer weather. I’m currently working in the medical field and would like to further my education as a medical professional.

I am new to couchsurfing and have not stayed at anyone's place but everyone has to start somewhere. Right? I will do what it takes to make you feel comfortable with me staying or hanging out with you. If you would like to speak on the phone or video chat I will gladly do that. Please don't hesitate to ask or tell me what makes you feel comfortable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always had a passion for exploration and adventure. In the past I've held back due to being financially conscious. Time is too precious to wait any longer. I'm interested in finding new friends across the globe and meeting them along my journey's.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Is my first true love. I love to sing and do it in the shower often (: I’m not that bad but I will spare you if I’m staying at your place or If you prefer that I do sing in your shower I will take requests. Music I love includes a lot of local music from my area but I also love a lot of mainstream. Please share your music with me! I love to listen to new things.

TV Shows: Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Girls, Californication, Gilmore Girls, How I Met Your Mother, Breaking Bad, Shameless, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Scrubs, That 70’s Show, Mad Men, Family Guy, Simpsons, and lots of others. This is just a basic idea of what I watch. I love many types of movie genre's as well. I'm open to most movie suggestions.

Books: I go through spurts of non stop reading to reading only quick articles. I enjoy learning about the world and the things that go on in it. Non fiction tends to be what I prefer. “Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now” by Maya Angelou is probably one of my favorite book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A friend of mine once said to me that his grandmother used to tell him "it's hard to be a human." She knows what she's talking about. Everyone is going through life having their own experiences, it can be so amazing and at times it can be extremely difficult. What amazing things I've done is my resilience to get passed the tough times and to live the happiest life I possibly can.

Here's some cool things I've done:

I've been in what appeared to be a sand storm in Arizona. It's was tough but I was happy to have the experience of something I've only seen on TV.

Oh yeah I also have canoed across choppy motorboat filled Lake George, NY. The boat almost tipped a couple times but we managed to stay upright.

Canoed down a muddy river hiked to waterfalls and saw some petroglyphs in Kauai Hawaii.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook a healthy meal that taste amazing. If you already know how to cook healthy meals let's exchange tips and recipes with each other!

I'm also a great listener and can offer an ear and give you advice if that is what you desire.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cook all the time and would gladly cook you a delicious meal. I eat healthy but the food is far from bad tasting. I don't know where people get the idea that foods that are good for you have to taste bad? I eat extremely healthy and my palate does not suffer. So let me make you a healthy meal to you preferences. I guarantee I will find something healthy that you will find delicious.

I can also clean and tidy your home. If you have any specific cleaning requests I can try to fulfill that as well.

I try to live by the motto to leave a place better than you found it. I aim to be a model house guest (:
