I'm a pediatric critical care nurse at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN (aka I'ma adrenaline junkie). I moved to Memphis in 2015 on my own not knowing anyone or basically anything about Memphis except that the barbecue was good and there was blues music!

I like my coffee black-if it needs sugar or creamer, you shouldn't drink it! I enjoy rocking out to metal/hardcore music, painting, drinking craft beer, and working out! I also love nature, so naturally I like to hike and go on walks. Fun fact- I took up running last summer so I could be by the Mississippi river and watch the sunrise- Memphis in the summer is too hot to sit still!

My friends say I'm goofy or ornery and don't take things too seriously! But they would also say I'm an open book, both in voicing what I think and sharing about my life- if you ask!

Fun fact: I've been to other countries but I haven't been farther west than Arkansas in my own country. Sad, I know!

Also, it says I've been a member since 2015. Unfortunately, I was in college and poor. Now that I'm not in college, I can still say I'm poor, but I now have the adult capability of saving so i can travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to travel to take a break from life and explore the unknown! And of course I love to meet people.

I save lives everyday for my job!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to show people cool places and introduce new music to people! I love to learn anything--really I love to make friends that are different from me that can teach me something new! I love to share stories, food (sometimes), and my time! I volunteer a lot and love to help people!
