Hi there! I am a nurse from Tucson, Arizona. I am taking a cross country road trip with my doggo, Cricket. I'm eager to meet you and learn about the place you call home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to know a place is to know it's people. When I travel, I prefer to spend plenty of time with locals to learn the true culture of a place rather than spend too much time in a tourist bubble. I hope that my experiences Couchsurfing will allow me to cross paths with people I otherwise wouldn't have had the privilege of meeting.

La mejor manera de conocer un lugar es conocer su gente. Cuando viajo, prefiero pasar tiempo con los nativos para aprender la cultura cierta de un lugar en vez de pasar mucho tiempo en la burbuja de los demás turistas. Ojalá que mis experiences con Couchsurfing me permitan cruzar con personas que normalmente no conocería.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not a big movie watcher but fall deeply into a good book. Some of my recent reads include: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, Así es Como la Pierdes por Junot Díaz, Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed, Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri and The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Floating down the Peruvian Amazon River in a hammock on board a cargo boat...along the four day journey I connected with other passengers and witnessed breathtaking scenery.

Flotando por el Rio Amazonas del Peru en una hamaca en una lancha de carga...durante el viaje de cuatro días, relacionaba con otros pasajeros y veía el paisaje impresionante.
