About Me

Hi! I am a veterinarian currently practicing in Phoenix, Arizona. I strive to give exceptional health care to dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, and other pocket pets. When I am not at the hospital, I am busy exploring the outdoors in Arizona or traveling across the country meeting as many people as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

...to meet amazing people while I travel the country (and soon the world) ! =)

Interests

I love the outdoors! Everything from camping, hiking, biking, gardening, or just relaxing next to a bonfire. I love cooking and I enjoy using the vegetables from my garden in the meals I cook. I am big into microbrews and I have a special place in my heart for IPAs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: It changes daily, some days electronic, other days rap music but usually listen to alternative rock (Vampire Weekend, Jack White, Alt J) and classic rock (Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden)

Movies: I love Wes Anderson flicks but mostly watch TV shows (Game of Thrones, Parks and Rec, Departures)

Books: I love american literature. Just finished On the Road by Jack Kerouac.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a life-changing week in the Nevadan desert at Burning Man! And I am going again this year =)
