I've worn a lot of hats in almost 40 turns around the sun, but I have finally found my life's work in Nursing. I have traveled around the world, mostly on the taxpayers' dime, but I hope to get back out more now that my life can accommodate it. I am totally and completely a Pisces, even though I totally and completely don't believe in astrology, mysticism, or religion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to start traveling more, and would rather meet people than deal with hotel staff. While I'm sure they are wonderful people, they are at work, and that is not really the best place to get to know someone! I am currently planning a motorcycle trip to see the eclipse in South Carolina, and I am looking for places to crash going to and from.

Music, Movies, and Books

There is a great expression, "90% of science fiction is crap, but then again 90% of everything is crap." I like the other 10%, but then again my 10% might be different from your 10%. I look forward to comparing notes if and when we meet!
