Traveling and learning from others while sharing what I know and enjoying the company of those I cross paths with. Lets tell stories, or jokes, play games or cook, go out or stay in, just grateful for every moment.

ABOUT ME

In my younger years I was far more outgoing and always on the go. Now I tend to be more laid back and easy going, but still have plenty of energy. I worked hard my whole life and now it's time to travel and slow down. I was an ICU nurse for 4 years, then went back to school to do anesthesia. I truly enjoy being in the presence of others and learning something from each individual. I love caring for people whether it be by cooking for them or just being present. I enjoy good conversation and exploring new things. I am rather silly and don't take myself too seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

Just keep breathing. Right here right now it's all good!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Trying to get a real feel for new areas by connecting with locals. If you don't have time to interact, that's okay too, it's always nice to just have a place to rest your head.

兴趣

I love being outside so most of my interests are outdoors: hiking, backpacking, kayaking, sailing, scuba diving, snowboarding, surfing, mountain biking, climbing and am always open to new things. I love to cook and used to brew beer. I love traveling, adventure, and awkward situations. I find you learn more about yourself when you are outside your comfort zone. I also LOVE animals. The one major down side to traveling is it doesn't afford you the gift of a fuzzy companion so if you have one I hope I get to give it some love!!
