I'm a registered nurse from Maryland, U.S. and I moved to Colorado state from Washington state to live with my best friend from high school. obviously I love to travel! otherwise i love running around the city to barhop, see live music, walk the parks/beaches, cliff diving, bicycling, trail running, snowboarding, art museum hopping or eat good eats 😜

I am also a vegan and try my best to avoid any animal products because I believe life is just so precious for all to live and experience. I see how we evolved as omnivores but nowadays Why hurt others to indulge in yourself when it is not even a means for your survival anymore? 🤔

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and trying new things. I believe life is about the adventures you embark on and the opportunities you choose to take, whether the booze you drink blacks you out from those memories or not ;D

Interests

I like wandering art museums. I draw and oil paint. Live music is a huge interest as well, whether its an acoustic open mic night or a three day camp out music festival! I love dark humor. Stupid comics like Cyanide and Happiness or Awkward Yeti :) oh and yespleaseandthankyou i love hiking! especially high terrains and swimming reservoirs
