I am traveling Central Asia for the month of September. I am a nurse and a whitewater rafting guide in the United States. I enjoy long distance hiking, bike packing, scuba diving, and exploring new places. I recently completed a 3000 km bike trip along New Zealand. I am a firm believer in you are never too old to learn something new. I am currently learning how to surf.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, especially when traveling. There is no better way to see a country than from a locals perspective.
