I'm pretty laid back in general, on my few days off from work I'm usually finishing a project in my craftroom, playing a video game, or catching up on my Netflix queue. I don't smoke, I'll drink socially or to enjoy the taste, but not to excess. Body's getting too old for anymore of that nonsense.

I enjoy cooking and trying new cuisines, reading a good book, and just enjoying the moment.

I've recently been bit with the traveling bug again, only this time my destinations are even farther. In September I'll be spending three weeks wandering around Spain, and Spring/Summer 2019 I plan to begin my year-long European backpacking trip, also visiting Southeast Asia and ending up in New Zealand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see how people live in other parts of the world. I'd like to experience what everyday life is like, not just the carefully curated tourist areas.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a classic rock kinda girl, avid reader, giant nerd, and I always like a good story, no matter what format it's in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've ridden camelback to a Nubian village where I got to hold a baby crocodile and swim in the Nile. It was colder than you'd think.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good sense of humor and some interesting anecdotes from my work as paramedic. I'd also be more than willing to pitch in and help prepare a few meals - my specialties are super gringo versions of Mexican street food.
