**Currently taking a couchsurfing hiatus because I am in graduate school earning my master's degree to become a physician assistant.**

I just graduated from San Diego State University with a bachelors degree in health science and I now attend Missouri State University for graduate school. Before graduate school, I was an emergency room technician. I'm often very busy, so I'm not always available to host and surf. But I do my best!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've found that this is by far the best way to travel, because I've met so many fascinating people who have shown me the best time. My best, craziest, most insightful days and nights have been with couchsurfers. I love having them in my home and meeting them along the way.

Interests

I love boating and I'm on the waterski team at my university. I'm happiest at the lake. In addition, I love hiking, camping, and off-road driving. When I can't be outside, I enjoy reading. Also I like climbing on rooftops and other things that ought not to be climbed on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in the Amazon Rainforest

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of drinking games, and I have a lot of weird hospital stories? I'm good at barbecuing and stuffing bell peppers. :) Additionally, I love trying to learn other languages, so if you'd like to teach me yours, I'd love to give it a try.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a few meals, stir a few drinks, and help keep your place neat and tidy. And of course, there will always be a place for you on my couch in San Diego. :)
