I am an adventurer at heart. Traveling and meeting people is something I enjoy a lot...maybe more than food. Growing up in the Seattle area, I like being outdoors hiking, skiing/snowboarding, sailing, kayaking, water rafting, and bouldering. The core of my value is respect and empathy (both important values for a nurse).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying new foods and experiences. Traveling means I get to meet new people, learn from them, and exchange ideas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning new languages and would be happy to converse with the languages I am fluent in. Growing up with home cooking, I love to cook and feed people so I'm very willing to make something for my hosts!
