Hi, I am someone who has grown up traveling around the world, thanks to family working internationally within not-for-profit organizations. I am currently in graduate school to pursue a degree for community health nursing and public health. I love reading and sometimes exploring new places. And I am currently living in a house with several other ladies (a variety of ages). We are not allowed to have male guests overnight, fyi (for a variety of reasons; but reasons related to how many tenants live in the house together).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing partly because I do have the travel bug. :) Also, I am dating a pretty cool guy in Columbus, Ohio. So I maybe could use some places to stay within that city, occasionally. Also: I guess that I was curious (although also cautious) about how this site works.

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate a variety of music that has a good beat to it and/or other aspects that I can appreciate.

One of my favorite movies is, 'The Gods Must be Crazy.'

Favorite authors of mine include C.S. Lewis and Madeleine L'Engle. :)
