Hi. My name is Gretchen...and I like to party. (Hot Rod reference...can I get a “Too Legit To Quit"?!?! 🏻‍♀️🏻‍♀️🏻‍♀️). I truly am likely to be found on the middle of the dance floor at a party, but you can also find me trying to read a book while walking down the street, listening to the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack, embodying my inner Elizabeth Bennett.

I'm new here! I joined CSing bc my sister and I went to Ireland last year and I hesitantly agreed to CSing with her and ended up loving it. Excited to try it on my own now!

I'm a pediatric neurology nurse in Washington DC. I love my life, my friends, and my family! I am a Christian, but a cool one I promise . I grew up traveling all over the US with my family and now traveling is just in my bones.

Excited to meet some of you and start growing my CSing experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We always had people staying at our house growing up, it was never a question. It’s nice to have a free place to stay but it’s equally nice to feel connected where ever you go. We were created for connection and it brings so much more meaning to travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a nurse so I can share with you my thoughts on healthcare (which is not the most thrilling conversation). I’m a Christian and love to share about The beauty and challenges of my faith, and I also value hearing about others experiences regardless of how similar or dissimilar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughs, conversation, a cooked meal
