I am a nurse living in Utah now for 10 years. I have not had the opportunity to travel like I used to due to work but am fixing this :)! I have travelled mostly in South America and Southeast Asia but am ready to get out and explore more of the world. Especially with the knowledge shared by the local in their communities. I have participated in service trips focused in nursing and public health abroad and also have done a bit of traveling just for fun. I love to meet new people and explore new places. I believe travel is the one true way to educate ourselves in a better understanding of the world around us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always enjoy showing others the beautiful nature of Salt Lake City. As a traveller myself, I appreciate when those that know the area best, the locals, guide me on my adventures of where to explore and the best places to visit. I not only want to experience this myself but would love to do the same for other travelers.
