CURRENT MISSION

To be a cultural ambassador and meet new people, feel the cultural pulse and rhythm of the world. I want to be the absolute best nurse I can be and eventually work for MSF/doctors without borders

ABOUT ME

I love exploring and have a bit of a smorgasbord of interests including literature(medical/travel), bodybuilding, video games, martial arts(BJJ), music(violin, guitar) health care (nursing and EMS),outdoors(hiking), cooking, and different languages(I am functional in Spanish). I am typically happiest when active and believe in taking the time to explore your own life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am of the firm belief that we help each other grow by sharing our cultural pulse with one another.

And.. well. I can honestly say couchsurfing has changed my life. I was pretty active with it in 2016, traveling at least 1x a month and the experiences I've had have been at least eye opening, and at best enriching. It has given me experiences and I've met all manner of people that i can happily call my friends.

I am always after as local an experience as possible when traveling. I find hotels, typical tours, etc far too sterile and disconnecting for my taste. I'll take a colloquial experience any day.
