For the past three years have practiced as a Nurse in a busy Emergency Department in England. Despite loving the job and the opportunities to care for others and feel able to make a positive difference to peoples lives have recently decided to quit. Can not work with the system itself, understaffing, blame culture and treating human beings like numbers. So now am travelling the world on a shoestring budget to experience other cultures and ways of life. And if in some small way I can use my knowledge or experience to help others on my travels all the better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As explained in about me. I would like to experience other cultures and ways of life and see other ways of thinking and living.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
