I am a travel nurse, and instead of staying in corporate housing, I would much rather share some time with free thinkers and open minded souls. I love to make friends every where I go. Love travel and adventure. I have worked my butt off as a nurse, but all work and no play is no fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last year I was hit by drunk driver. The accident was devastating, it was one of those moments in which my life flashed before my eyes, and I decided, I need to change! So I spent time recovering, physical therapy, and then decided to do the scary thing and quit my "secure" job. Decided to take up travel nursing and see where it take me! So far I have lived and worked in Portland, Oakland, and Seattle. It's been such a rewarding adventure and I hope only to continue enriching my life and caring for those with cancer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to El Salvador alone to go surfing! Ended up making a bunch of friends, and was never alone one day!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not religious or political. I am a free thinker and easy going person, and I don't push my beliefs on anyone else. I remain curious and open to possibilities in the universe. I have a lot to give and a lot to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very good at landscaping, pool cleaning, cooking, painting, building fires, and art-ing.

I love staying up late nights, talking about anything. Night owl.

I love pets. Anything from reptiles to cats/dogs. I can offer some pet-sitting and dog-walking on my days off work.
