I'm an oncology nurse who could drink coffee at any hour, loves reading and staying active, and seriously enjoys good conversation, especially over wine or dark beer. I can be quite sarcastic and enjoy a good laugh and silly things.

My husband, Aaron, and I just returned from a year of living abroad in London and traveling around Europe. It was during this time that we started hosting and surfing and fell in love with it! Now that we are back home, we are hoping to host more and give back some of the amazing things we experienced. We are all about the true nature of CS - getting to know people and exchanging stories and ideas. :)

That being said, I'd appreciate a little effort and thought in any requests sent. So I know you read my profile, tell me what your favorite current song is and why?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the best thing one can get from going to a new city is a full experience of culture, which is next to impossible without knowing the people of that city. That's why we joined this community - to meet new people and cultivate relationships.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love language. I am always keen to learn more and love to learn the similarities, differences, and nuances within languages. Maybe we can teach each other something new?

Beyond that, I can teach you about stem cell transplant and cupcakes.

Aaron and I love the idea of CS exchange - cooking us a meal, bringing a small gift, whatever! Not required but certainly appreciated. :)
