I'm a nursing student currently living in Los Angeles in a wonderful 10 person co op. We host travelers all the time, but never through this website. Very excited to check it out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sister just had a baby!!! I'm wanting to visit my hometown of Grand Rapids Michigan, but as a broke student I can't afford a hotel or Airbnb at the moment, and my sister unfortunately doesn't have any space for me. I'm hoping to find a place to rest my head at night and don't need much more than that, but am also down to reacquaint myself with GR and possibly some new friends along the way. I haven't spent time in GR since I was about 13, so my sister is really the only person I know in town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went night swimming with several 10' wide manta rays during a super moon surrounded by bioluminescent plankton. Beyond surreal...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook and crochet just about anything, would love to cook and clean for any hosts I'm lucky to stay with, and am happy to offer crochet lessons.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've lived in my current house for over 7 years. We are a co op and host many travelers from around the world. Consequently I am very aware of what makes a good guest, and what makes a burdensome guest. Moreover I truly enjoy cooking and cleaning. I would love to cook a meal or two for my hosts, and will certainly be leaving the space cleaner than I found it.
