I’m a ICU nurse and love to travel, hike, camping, backpacking on my free time and helping other through my profession or through my travels.

I'm looking to have fun and meet new people, learning new cultures, and explore new places.

I also help run a hostel like property with a friend in Dallas and have various beds for couchsurfers and excited to meet other travelers.

Planning later on this year to take a year off and travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I understand the struggle of traveling and solo traveling and want to help out others in the community.
I also like to meet new people, learn new cultures, and explore new places and to host other traveler so I could meet people from other countries while staying at my home town.

Interests

I like to read, but the weird thing is I have a hard time finishing books. I'm a big film guy and loves to talk about them when I can. Also boardgames, I'm also up for a good game.

I recently going into mountain biking and loving it so far, still pretty new though and need to finds some new trails. I like doing outdoor recreations, being in natures like hiking, but like mountain biking I'm still pretty new at it

Food, I love to eat and try new food as I think its the best way to learn a culture from a new city or country. I love to cook, but my god, I get unhealthy when I cook since I snack at the same time I cook.
