I am a labor and delivery nurse with a heart to love on others and to be hospitable with what I have. I also want to live a life that when I look back on it, that I smile knowing that I explored, experienced, and truly lived.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My husband and I have learned that people are inherently social beings. We have so much to share and learn from one another! CS is a way to encounter subcultures, appreciate similarities and differences, and a way to expand our world one encounter at a time.

When we have a home of our own upon returning to the States next year, we look forward to hosting CSers!!

Interests

I love baking, cooking, hosting dinner parties, knitting, volunteering with a local medical clinic, cuddling with my sweet cat, hiking/camping, trying different cheeses, seeing God's green earth, and experiencing all that life has to offer- traveling, building friendships, and making memories!
Basically anything that has to do with new food or learning new cultures - I'm in!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a part of a team that performed 63 ocular surgeries over the course of 16 hours in the rural part of Paraguay- it opened my eyes and rocked my world! It is what led me to become a nurse.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some Spanish!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of laughter, a listening ear, and camaraderie!
Would love to cook with my host and share a glass of wine!
Stories of our lives, where we have been, where we are going.
Gratitude, immense gratitude.
