CURRENT MISSION

Gain nursing experience, possibly try travel nursing. I hope to go back to school to be a Nurse Practitioner.

ABOUT ME

INTJ. Born and raised in northern California. I lived in Seoul, South Korea for a year after undergrad. Blew all my savings on a backpacking trip around SE Asia. Decided nursing is my calling. Traveled some more. And that's my life so far! I'm a homebody but I love adventures - seeing the world for myself and through the stories of people I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

"Everything in moderation...including moderation." My grandpa used to say that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started hosting surfers at my apartment in Seoul. I've only had a few hosting opportunities but have always enjoyed chatting and hearing stories even when I couldn't show people around. I've also hung out with my friends' surfers and had a great time.

Interests

Being outside. Hiking. Cooking and baking. I guarantee I have baked more batches of banana bread than anyone else you know. Eating. I could live off of bread and cheese. Art. Attempting to make it but also enjoying it in various forms. I love pottery and I learned how to use the wheel in Turkey. That's something I wish I could do everyday. Reading. Drinking beer. I've brewed my own once and I want to learn to brew later on. Traveling. Magic tricks and poker. Stupid jokes. Meeting interesting people. Cute and strange animals.
