I live in Seattle and work as a nurse practitioner. I have two cats whom I love. I've spent the last 5 years in graduate school so traveling hasn't been as much of an option but I do manage to leave the country at least once a year, sometimes more. I'm into travel, love following politics and the news (but don't worry, I'm not annoying about it), and I wanna go on a long bike trip sometime soon.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

When I lived in Beijing I hosted a bunch of people from all over the world. I really enjoyed the experience of getting to make a new buddy every week. Couchsurfing has brought me a lot of really nice memories and people I still keep in touch with, and it has just made the process of traveling much deeper. The most real experiences I've had have all been shared ones.

Música, películas y libros

Books: non-fiction about history and politics lately. I also like sci-fi. Someday I want to start a book review blog about post-apocolyptic fiction. I want to get into poetry but haven't really made the transition yet.

Movies: Les Miserables (with Liam Nieson), documentaries (Dark Days is my favorite), sci-fi movies (even bad ones).
