CURRENT MISSION

On a European adventure from May-June!!

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from vet school!! To celebrate my last few months before work starts, my boyfriend, Ian and I, will then be headed to Europe for an amazing 7 week backpacking, no-itinerary trip. We are hoping we can meet some fun and interesting people in various countries by using couchsurfers...and yes, I will happily take a look at your dog/cat/hamster/chicken/rat :)
So, if you live in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia or Croatia and would like to host a veterinarian and a beer expert, let us know!!!
Also, Ian's profile is HitTheTwit, if you would like to check out his info

PHILOSOPHY

My outlook and opinions on life have changed immensely over the last few months...I am feeling a pull to be more in-tune with the natural world around me and to enjoy the non-material gifts life has to offer. That being said, I still believe current technology and developments have a place in the world and I appreciate those contributions as well. However, I think a new plan in my life is coming up with a way to gently and non-invasively incorporate these modern comforts and technologies into a life centered around preserving land and resources...I hope my upcoming trip to Europe can help me develop this lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couchsurfing.org and plan to be able to utilize the program while backpacking through Europe as a way to meet new people and experience life in these amazing countries!

Interests

I love running, all kinds of exercise, cooking, wine and beer tasting. I also actually enjoy the more mundane and so-called boring parts of life, such as cleaning and chores, because order in my house gives me a sense of peace! I also love my work as a soon-to-be veterinarian- everyday is new and unexpected! I like being outdoors and active, especially with family, friends and my fun-loving boyfriend, Ian :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love live music...any kind, really. I enjoy reading and my boyfriend has been helping introduce me into the world of science fiction, though I usually prefer historical fiction or related topics.
