CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to travel as much as possible and explore other cultures and people.

ABOUT ME

I am currently living and working in Boise, Idaho as an Emergency Room nurse. I am enjoying Idaho and all the outdoor opportunities it has to offer; hiking, fishing, camping, and snowsports. I am also an avid practitioner of the arts. I enjoy art history and other cultures artistic expression. I enjoy writing, drawing, painting,ceramics, and photography. I hope to travel extensively and photograph the beautiful landscapes and people of the world. I have a real pull to the adventure in life and I love living on the edge and seeking new challenges.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life in the hopes that I will somehow impact this world in a positive way. I hope to be part of something bigger than myself and to help the world by understanding exactly who I am and what I have to offer it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been using couchsurfing for travel and as a way to meet people for a few years now. I used it to travel through Nepal a couple of years ago and the experience was nothing but positive. I have hosted a few travelers in Montana, and those have also been positive experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently traveled to Nepal and CS was amazing and introduced me to some truly great friends. I consider myself a vetran at the couch surfing philosophy. For the last few years I have been frequently staying with friends and co-workers all around the Northwest United States for short periods of time during short adventurous excursions. I have also, on many occasions, had friends and aquaintances hosted at my place.

Interests

I love to paint, draw, make pottery, and take photographs. I enjoy anything outdoors! Hiking, camping, backpacking, snowboarding, golfing, rafting, etc. I recently started fly fishing and I'm enjoying it very much. Basically I'm game to learn anything!
