CURRENT MISSION

living with zest

ABOUT ME

I like to be busy, to move and shake, to dance, to work hard and sleep well... After college I went traveling for some months in South America and on a separate trip visited Eastern Europe. I am a nurse, and love my job.

I enjoy seeing live music, independent film, making art, cooking, reading, biking around, camping, gardening, the occasional wild party, picnics, and in general exploring the world.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with some wonderful CSers in Poland, who had previously stayed with my brother in Japan. Couch Surfing connects humanity!
