I moved down here about 4.5 years ago to explore different parts of the country and pursue a career in the medical center and learned to love the city! I do research in chronic kidney disease at a dialysis center and just completed my master's degree this past year. I have two rescue dogs (lab/pitbull mix brother and sister) and they're wonderful cuddle bugs. I like to stay as active as possible and meet new people from all parts of the world! I love playing tennis, bike riding, camping, music festivals, hiking, biking, kayaking, you name it. I'm always up for adventure and generally have an easy going attitude.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and helping in any way I can! I love pursuing adventures and encourage others to do the same!
