Life is weird and beautiful and I plan on experiencing everything I can. I generally try to do everything that scares me...it’s all about expanding boundaries. Personal growth is very important to me. I try my hardest to take care of my body, mind, and soul.

Professionally, I am a Bone Marrow Transplant/Hematology Nurse. I work the night shift and sleep during the day. In my line of work, I am constantly reminded that life is about loving and experiencing EVERYTHING we can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to develop relationships, experience cultures, foods, languages, and make friends all over the world and here at home.
