I love discovering the world around me. I thrive of off adventure and new experiences. Life is such a wild and exciting ride. I have been blessed to have some amazing opportunities and to live in a beautiful place. I am a young professional living near the mountains and ocean. I try to make the most of this and spend most of my off time on the trails in the mountains, swimming in the ocean or bouldering at the climbing gym. I am a relational person and care about connecting with and sharing life with the people around me. I am most happy when I can enjoy nature with the ones I love. Friends and family who know me say I am passionate, driven and warm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and going on adventures. Experiencing a new destination with the knowledge of a local is invaluable to me. There is so much to learn about the world around us, and why not do that first hand?

Interests

It may be cliché but, "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." - Saint Augustine". This quote pretty much sums up my thoughts on traveling... you gotta keep turning more pages. See more. Do more. Discover more.

As long as I am outdoors and in nature I am happy. Most of my interests involve this in a large capacity. During the Summer I'm either up in the mountains hiking and sometimes climbing, or on the beach swimming. In Winter I try and hit the slopes on my board as often as possible or I like to snowshoe up the mountains.

I am a registered nurse, my career has shaped how I perceive the world. Access to health care and education are important to me. Learning more about health, the human body, emergency/ trauma and international/ health missions are interests of mine.

I boulder/ rock climb 2-3 times a week... I'm kinda obsessed.

Surfing is something I discovered I thoroughly enjoy. I'm still a novice though, as I don't live close enough to a surf break. :(

Lastly sharing a great meal and a glass of wine with friends brings me much joy. Top off the evening with a board game or some cards and you have the perfect recipe for some laughs and good memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about other cultures and the world around me. I have a fair amount of healthcare knowledge and love discussing and sharing my experience in the field. I am fluent in French and can share this. I love to learn and am open to what you have to share.
