Love to travel and am always looking for new places to see and people to meet!

I have a lot of time off with my job and love to use that time to travel and see as many new places and meet new and awesome people. I'm up for anything so if you have any suggestion on where to go next, please let me know!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, and couch surfing is a great way to do that.
I also am trying to travel more and see the world.
Especially, to experience a new city or country from the perspective of a local!

I have never actually couch-surfed before- so far only met up with couchsurfers while traveling, but from what I have seen, they are the BEST people. Everyone is so wonderful and share the same values as me. I hope one day to actually couch surf

I love to read, and am a frequent abuser of my library card. I literally have my library card memorized. And the librarians know me by name so if you're an avid reader, that's a plus.

Non-fiction is my favorite, especially when it relates to the medical field.
If you have recommendations, please let me know!

Last Book I read- The Air We Cannot Breathe

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done and seen some amazing things, but I want to focus on what I plan and hope to do in the future.
See as much of the Continental U.S as I can. I once went on a road trip through a bunch of US National Parks- unbelievable.
Ski in Whistler

But since this question asked for things I've already done...
1. Snorkled in Iceland in Winter
2. Saved a life (nurse, duh)
3. Gambled in Monaco
4. Dangled my feet off the edge of the Grand Canyon
5. Taken a cooking class in Tuscany
6. Went sledding down the steps of the Bethesda Terrace in NYC
7. Acted on a tv show

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

Flexibility and friendliness!
Will pay for my own food as well as clean up after myself

Plus, if you have been to Chicago and miss some of our famous pizza, and we become friends, I may just be willing to ship you some (yes, you can ship deep dish pizza)
