My goal is to broaden my view of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in cultural exchange. I love to see a person bare his/her soul through stories about home and travel.

Interests

I am a registered nurse currently working on a Neuro-Stroke specialized PCU and am focused on developing my leadership skills to affect change in my field.

I like to visit public libraries or bookshops in every city I end up in.

I'm originally from a small town in the mountains. I love the outdoors. Hiking and kayaking are among my favorite activities.

I'll try just about any type of food once. There aren't many meals that I won't enjoy.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical tastes are messy and all over the place. I especially love American folk, bluegrass, and 60s Pop/Classic Rock.
I collect books. I'm especially interested in Southern authors and poets. My newest companion is Maya Angelou: Poems.
I love fairy tales, fantasy, and science fiction plot lines.
I could talk about Doctor Who forever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new vocabulary, songs, and poetry on my travels and at home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love exchanging and gifting books! I'm also good for a free blood pressure screening and a decent breakfast.
