Recently graduated with my doctorate and am currently studying for state and national board exams. I will not be hosting while I prepare. Safe travels everyone and I hope you all get a chance to visit and explore San Diego.

Midwest transplant living in San Diego. Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Love to explore to find hidden treasures and secret spots.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all good music: pop to punk, metal, honkey tonk, hip hop, blues and americana. If it's legitimately good, I'll probably like it.

Favorite movies: Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Amalie, Silence of the Lambs, Legally Blonde, Deadpool, Grandma’s Boy and Old School.

I've been reading text books for so long, that I honestly don't remember what it's like to read something for fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a good heart to heart Thom Yorke about the virtues of Kelly Clarkson and Missy Elliot.

Teach, Learn, Share

The more you say “NO” to the things that do not serve you, the more space you leave for those things that do.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking for people and am a wonderful instigator. I am always looking for an excuse to be a tourist and love company when I explore.
