CURRENT MISSION

To be happy!

ABOUT ME

I'm a pediatric nurse in Philly. I value family more than anything else in the world. I live simply, and I love life. I'm a motivator for many people, always looking to make the best of every situation.

PHILOSOPHY

"Dum vivimus vivamus." -Let us live while we live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I began CS in 2011, when I went backpacking in Europe for 6 weeks. It was incredible, and it has gotten me hooked. I've surfed in Belgium, France, Peru, New Hampshire, and Tennessee - all very positive experiences!

Interests

I absolutely love the outdoors...hiking, kayaking, rafting, biking, etc. I love anything that makes me feel like I have taken full advantage of each day that I have here. I love music, whether it's going to music festivals or just dancing alone in my room to my favorite bands. I love cooking meals for me and my friends, and I'm always trying out new recipes. Lastly I love helping others. I thoroughly enjoy doing what I can do give back to others, whether it be my own community, or a third world country thousands of miles away.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This whole life is so crazy

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook, speak English, and anatomy and physiology.
I want to learn how to speak Spanish very badly...or really any other language.
