I love to travel, as you probably could have guessed. I want to see any and every place possible. The best part about traveling is meeting such eclectic people who can share their experiences and personalities. I want to become a medical missionary so I can travel while helping others; my two greatest passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed in Europe in the summer of 2012 and it's time to pay it forward

Interests

I play the cello, swim, dance (my favorite being salsa), hike, and eat...especially ice cream. I like wine and tequila although my dogs name is whiskey. My family is very important to me and many of my friends are like family. I have a wonderful boyfriend whom I live with and a welcoming home so please come join in on the fun!

Teach, Learn, Share

Use that big heart of yours to share love, passion, stories
Give what you have and what you don't
