About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is a journey.

ABOUT ME

Just recently I returned from Australia to the USA to become a veterinarian in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Since the beginning of this new career I have loved my job being able to help and save lives of pets. I spent my last year of veterinary college in Perth Australia and the three previous years living on the beautiful island, Grenada. I had the fortunate opportunity to travel a bit through school, but I plan to continue to explore this fascinating world of ours. Learning about new cultures, meeting new people and just having fun is what life is all about.

PHILOSOPHY

Live for the moment, because you don't know where your feet will take you next.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After traveling and living in Australia for a year, I had several amazing experiences couchsurfing in Sydney and Perth and was able to meet some great people and learn about their lives. Now that I am back in the United States and starting a new career, I hope to give back to the couchsurfing community by offering people to visit and learn about South Carolina while I am also trying to learn about this new community that I have moved to. Feel free to contact me for any questions you have about this area if you plan to visit. Cheers.
