I am an avid traveller. I love learning languages and meeting new people. I run charitable medical missions in third world countries for animal care and now by request, human health care. I am also studying Midwifery and working on my captains license. I am a vegetarian and prefer a vegetarian home for couch surfing! I love animals and i fix them so it would make sense that i wouldnt eat them :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I Travel a lot for work and continuing education and love to immerse myself in the place i go rather than travel across the surface. I prefer to have a personal experience rather than a sterile one!

Music, Movies, and Books

Love reading just about anything... except cheesy romance novels. Action movies, movies with a great moral (collateral beauty), and yes... chick flix

Rescued endangered monk seals from the jaws of death. Also I was lifted out of the river by a Manatee Bull.
