I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee with my RN license. I'm also a sea captain and professional wakeboarding coach. Most recently I coached and chartered boats in the Hamptons. I love rock climbing, coffee, craft beer, and food. I enjoy meeting new people in new cities, and traveling is priority #1.

I'm new to couch surfing but I've been traveling since I was 16. I'm currently on a tour of the USA to find a new place to live and work as a nurse. The game-plan is to make my way through a lot of states, cities, wilderness, and mountains while interviewing at hospitals along the way. Hopefully showering and throwing on a suit the night before an interview after weeks in the woods can land me a job :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently exploring the USA to accomplish a couple things:

#1: find a new place to live and work as a nurse
#2: meet great people all over the country
#3 discover places I'll never forget
#4 try great food and beer along the way

Teach, Learn, Share

Besides being a nurse, I'm a professional wakeboarding coach and I've been teaching for over 10 years. I competed on an international level, own a lessons business, and have also coached and charted boats in the Hamptons for another company.
