CURRENT MISSION

I am a seeker of moments.

ABOUT ME

Small town Midwesterner living in New Mexico. Love hiking and camping!

I LOVE to travel and have managed to be fortunate enough to do a bit; I've been to Lesotho and South Africa, traveled all over Europe, and bicycled from Minneapolis to Bellingham, WA and then down to San Francisco. I have also hitch-hiked in the US and in Europe. I love traveling in various forms and am always up for an adventure.

When not studying for nursing school, I spend a lot of time hiking and camping. I don't like to sit still and am most happy when traveling and experiencing new places and culture.

I enjoy the simple randomness of life and making mock commentary about it. I enjoy having a beer and a laugh over a good story, so let's get together and do so!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sleeping on people's couches while traveling, allowing others to sleep on my couch while they're traveling through.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First Experience....Over Xmas and New Years 2009 I had about 12 different people stay with me in the course of two weeks while I was living in Vienna, Austria.

Since then I've hosted and have been hosted many, multiple times. Thoroughly enjoyable.
