Howdy from Texas everyone!

I’m a traveler recently graduated from college. I work as a night nurse and have a bachelors degree in Biochemistry so we can need out about that, if interested.
When traveling I enjoy talking to locals and getting to know everyone. I’d ideally like to see the parts of the city tourists overlook or don’t even know exist. I’ve been to

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need to get out of my bubble and I was recommended this amazing site which I hope will allow me to venture out of my "yee-haw" state and into the open waters of the world.
I'd like to get to know you and learn about how people everywhere are different but also the same. What makes us human to the core? Perhaps I can answer that by traveling and talking to people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited a couple of countries right after graduating from high school. Going out into the world at such a young age was definitely shocking and it broke a lot of things in me only to create something more profound. I should have read the book Culture Maps before I left but now that I have read it I'll be more ready next time I travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Math, nursing skills, just ask.
I want to learn: Other cultures, more math, new foods, new people
