About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much as I can while I'm here.

ABOUT ME

Let's see here... I love life, love to laugh and love to learn. I crave excitement and adrenaline rushes... embrace growing older and wiser. I LOVE to travel, snowboard, backpack, sky dive, dance, raft, day dream, camp, scuba dive and hang with my friends and family. I'd love to learn to surf and if I'm ever able to spend enough time with an ocean. I'm up for just about anything fun. I believe strongly in Karma. I'm extremely proud to be a Basque girl, which is my nationality. I'm super laid-back, friendly, a tad silly and can be a little wild and crazy. It keeps things interesting, right? I graduated from the Nursing Program at Boise State in 2007. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to travel and have a passion for getting to see and experience new cultures, landscapes, food and meeting new and interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

The Golden Rule... do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Life's journey isn't to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, completely worn out, shouting "Holy shit! What a ride!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host whoever I'm able to and I try to make myself a desirable guest/host. It works so much better if we all make an effort for our hosts and surfers to be comfortable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed once while I was in London, but I've met up with surfers during my travels and gotten plenty of useful tips and help from them.

I've been a host to several surfers passing through Boise and have enjoyed every last one of them! I'd be happy to meet many more and show them around my home town when I'm around!
