About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the earth!! With limited funds!!

ABOUT ME

I am just beginning my great saga of traveling, and feel like I have a lot to catch up on. I am very human-centered in the way I approach problems and love to learn about new ways of living and being.

PHILOSOPHY

The personal is political. Our choices carry meaning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2018: I just completed an accelerated nursing program and took my NCLEX licensure examination. I am waiting on the results as we speak! I am going to be driving across the United States w/ a dear friend for a near month in June/July. We will both begin our new careers in mid/end July!

2017:
Visited Costa Rica for the first time - completed a wilderness first responder course during winter break from Uni.

2013:
I have witnessed live birth three times. Each one was amazing. I cried like a baby. Magical stuff. I am currently in the midst of a 3 month trip in Iceland, Amsterdam, and the Faroe Islands. It's the most amazing thing I've ever personally done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like feminist political theory and I can knit. I am almost able to sew. I would love to learn how to do everything else. I can teach you how to make extensive to-do lists! I can hypothesize about the human condition and talk about love.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a sturdy back and can be of use to anyone who wants assistance w/ the chores, garden, grocery trips, or long lectures on why nursing is the future of health care.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Costa Rica, Iceland, Netherlands, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
