自我介绍

I am professional in the Women's health field. I have both an undergrad and graduate degree from the College of Nursing at UIC. I work in a local Healthcare Center. I am fluent in Spanish. Chicago Native. I enjoy Bikram yoga, jogging, photography, traveling, art walks, and I am a complete MUSIC NERD, listening to records, love live music, will travel long distance even out of country for a show or favorite musician..... Before the airbnb era, I often house swapped, couch surfed, traded room& board for a service, used other popular websites to find room rentals, etc! Favorite quote “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?” ― Vincent van Gogh I have traveled extensively, having been to several countries outside of North America, I most often prefer the comfort of a home when away, rather than a posh hotel. For both economical and sustainable reasons, most of these travels have been on a budget, in which I prefer to defer the big tourist hot spots, and spend my money in local communities. Live like a local is our travel motto!! So far I have hosted a very diverse array of guests: medical & nursing students, people here for internships, work projects, railroad engineers, vacationers, last minute get-away trips, road trip pit stops, stranded at the airport, music festival junkies, the list goes on, feel free to add yourself to the list!! Our longest airbnb reservation was for an international graduate student who stayed 8 months as she awaited her work visa to be approved, while working as an accountant at a manufacturing company a few miles away from our home. Our shortest airbnb reservations are one nighters who sometimes just want a few hours of sleep or rest while stranded or waiting on a flight from midway airport, but even o'hare airport has provided us some lovely guest as well!
