CURRENT MISSION

explore and meet new people :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a scorpio and like long walks on the beach. Just kidding. Well actually both of those things are in fact true. I'm originally from Virginia , but I've been living in Chicago for the past 2 years. I'm putting work on hold in order to travel to Australia and South America for the next couple of months. I'm excited to explore new countries and cultures- and can't wait to get started!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't know if I can put my personal philosophy into a few sentences as part of my profile on a website. How about we discuss it when we meet in person...

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm searching for couches to surf. I am moving out of my apartment in a week, but I'd like to host when I'm done with my upcoming trips and am settled in a new place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just my friend's couches.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I saw a baby being born when I was a nursing student- that was pretty amazing.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I would love to get the perspective of a local while traveling. I'm up for learning anything and everything, but particularly I am interested in what day to day life is like in other cultures. Me, well....I'm a CPR instructor ;) I'd be happy to share any lifesaving tips with you.
