I’ve recently finished a dive season in Thailand with my partner and am lucky enough to get to do more travelling.

In my former life in the US I was a trauma nurse who travelled the states partner dancing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling quite a bit. CS provides an awesome opportunity to meet new people and experience the local scene. Many people have been kind enough to open their home to me when I'm traveling and I couldn't be more thankful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided to leave a life and community I love to chase my need for adventure and challenges. I'm taking a break from nursing in the US and exploring the world as a dive instructor.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share so much about diving!!
I love teaching and sharing my knowledge/skills. Random skills I can share: I can spin yarn, use a pottery wheel, and I have mad organizing skills.

I love learning to cook new dishes and cuisines.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking. I love to cook and consider myself more than decent.

Dancing! I really enjoy sharing my love of partner dancing and am always happy to provide a lesson or two.

An appreciation for the local scene. Please take me to your favorite haunts!!
