Born and raised in Rhode Island, I know it well. I enjoy sharing my beautiful state with visitors as much as I enjoy traveling.
I am a Behavioral Health Nurse in a community outpatient setting. I've also worked as a Home Care "visiting" Nurse.
I'm liberal minded. I enjoy meeting people. I'm always dreaming of my next travel experience.
For many years, I was a bartender at a popular riverfront bar in Providence and have an eclectic collection of friends and acquaintances. It's a small state. I probably know someone who knows someone!
I enjoy the great local music, food, rich history and culture that Providence has to offer. The most beautiful beaches are here in the Ocean State.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love to travel! I have a lot yet to see and experience. I'm looking forward to making new friends around the world. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures, traditions and foods
On the short list: Croatia, Amsterdam, Spain, Southeast Asian, Azores...
I've enjoyed a bit of solo travel and would like to do more.
I much prefer an authentic experience with locals. Traveling teaches us so much about ourselves and others. Traveling challenges me in many ways, like nothing else does.

It’s ALL so amazing!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

local culture, conversation, a decent meal, a craft beer or two ;)
Lots of history here in RI - Newport (40 min by car or 1 hour by seasonal ferry) and Providence
RI is the "Ocean State" with many beautiful beaches, maritime history and great seafood!
Boston is 45 minutes North of Providence - an easy train or bus ride...The Whaling City - New Bedford, Massachusetts just a 30 minute car ride.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Calm and engaging company. Considerate and unassuming house guest.
Perhaps a reciprocating visit at my home in Rhode Island, USA
Prepare a meal, walk the dog or assist with that task for which you need an extra set of hands (I know I've got a few on my list!)
