Hiya! My name is Nate, and I'm a travel nurse based in Austin, TX who's looking to connect with down-to-earth and kind humans. Let's hangout and see how we vibe together. ✨

I also enjoy the music of nature - thunderstorms; crickets chirping and coyotes howling on a clear, starry night; waves crashing on the shore.

Not only do I like to listen to music, I also very much enjoy making music. I played the baritone/euphonium from 6th grade through 12th grade (I especially enjoyed marching band in high school), played the sousaphone during my freshman year of college, and have sung as a bass/baritone in choirs since my senior year of high school. I'm often hired by churches and other groups to sing. I can also play the piano - beginner skill level.
