I want to be a travel nurse and provide global healthcare. I live in Toronto, after two years in France and four years in Portland, OR.

I want to continuing growing as a person by gaining knowledge from those around me and embracing experiences that I never knew would exist. I'm a joyful person who searches for beauty in the mundane. Beauty is molded in a thousand ways, and I want to travel the world so I can witness it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think strangers, especially frequent travelers or those who have traveled, have a unique ability to create strong bonds with people. I like meeting these people along their voyage, and I like being the one to create the bond with locals as I travel to explore and learn!

Less seriously, I love to laugh and people make me laugh and burn beautiful memories into my brain of the places I visited with them.

Interests

I am a HUGE FAN of people with different interests than me. If you're passionate about something, I want you to tell me everything you know about it and will ask you a thousand questions so I can learn why you love it so much.

I'm decently athletic. I love to get lost in foreign places. Cities or hiking.
I cherish my relaxing days consisting of reading and learning, drinking coffee and swapping stories. I love long discussions with depth and complexity, but I also like to laugh and I use sarcasm regularly.
I always want to try something new and different and am constantly finding joy in new endeavors.

I am passionate about global health, NGOs and volunteering. I love to write in my journal about my life, experiences, and lessons I'm learning. I'm a huge advocate for self love and care, I love to give compliments and build people's confidence. I tend to find most people's jokes funny, so I hope to build your confidence as a comedian.

I sing a lot, I'm not too shy about it. I've practiced yoga and competed in fencing tournaments. I bake amazing desserts involving peanut butter. I've hiked 20+ trails in the Columbia Gorge and enjoy chasing waterfalls. If there is a body of deep water and a rock next to it, I will jump of this rock time and time again collecting gopro videos until I'm red as lobster. I get paid to play volleyball.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to whatever, I will never complain about your music choice.
My lack of knowledge in film/music/pop culture in general is an embaressment to mankind. I love to watch movies but I normally repeat Batman, Interstellar, Shawshank Redemption.
My favorite books include into the wild, catcher in the rye, and the great gatsby

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a certified scuba diver and swam with sharks in Mexico.

I moved to a small town in a foreign country with a family that didn't speak the speak language as me. Nor did anyone else in the city. Daunting but magical.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can speak in English or French and I think I'm hilarious.
I laugh at everything, I'm good public.
