ABOUT ME A nurse taking a year off of work to travel the world! Im originally from Nebraska, born and raised in Lincoln. I ran track and cross country to help pay my way through college. After school I lived in Minneapolis for a bit and then to SF for the last ten years. I just traveled to asia (just left the US for the first time), sold all my stuff and just left! I have never been more open about meeting new people, it was the best thing about leaving… I used to race cyclocross, I don't run much anymore but hope to get back into it slowly. Secretly I want to learn to breakdance…I am pretty random, my humor is weird. I am deciding where I want to live in the world! I joined couch surfing because I travel to the east coast often to see my parents (who help raise my nephews with my brother)..and I travel to NYC and I find it boring…its hard to meet people (especially comparing how easy it was to meet people in asia). Its also un-fucking-believably expensive to stay the night in NYC and this would be an interesting alternative. PHILOSOPHY hard to sum up. Things work themselves out?! I believe that all people are good and everyone should (try) not to get too hung up on the little things. I also believe people should say hello more often to random strangers and offer to buy someone a cup of coffee that they don't know once in a while.
