I'm new to this website but not new to traveling or hosting/being a guest by any means. My name is short for Madeline. Early thirties, just relocated to Orange County from Utah (I work as an IV therapy nurse). Looking for a place to crash through December 18th when my lease starts. Anywhere in Orange County works since I'm at work or exploring most days, I won't be home much. I'm clean, respectful, quiet, don't smoke, and am looking for a comfortable space to decompress after work shifts. I'd also love to get you a discounted rate on IV services if that's ever something you'd be interested in. Looking forward to connecting!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always looking to build genuine connections with people in new places. I love learning about how people live, their routines, their favorite local spots. Moving to OC solo, I'm excited to meet people and get to know the area from someone who actually lives here rather than just through apps and tourist stuff. Hoping to make some real friends while I'm settling in!
