Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people, and couch surfing is a great way to do that. I also am trying to travel more and see the world. Especially, to experience a new city or country from the perspective of a local! I have never actually couch-surfed before- so far only met up with couchsurfers while traveling, but from what I have seen, they are the BEST people. Everyone is so wonderful and share the same values as me. I hope one day to actually couch surf
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: The Goonies Forrest Gump Harry Potter I love to read, and am a frequent abuser of my library card. I literally have my library card memorized. And the librarians know me by name so if you're an avid reader, that's a plus. Non-fiction is my favorite, especially when it relates to the medical field. If you have recommendations, please let me know! Last Book I read- The Air We Cannot Breathe
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I have done and seen some amazing things, but I want to focus on what I plan and hope to do in the future. See as much of the Continental U.S as I can. I once went on a road trip through a bunch of US National Parks- unbelievable. Ski in Whistler But since this question asked for things I've already done... 1. Snorkled in Iceland in Winter 2. Saved a life (nurse, duh) 3. Gambled in Monaco 4. Dangled my feet off the edge of the Grand Canyon 5. Taken a cooking class in Tuscany 6. Went sledding down the steps of the Bethesda Terrace in NYC 7. Acted on a tv show
