Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To be honest, Being a broke grad student sucks. Your heart is always set on travelling but your pocket book says naw. Aside for monetary benefits, I believe my world is more complete when I get a unique chance to connect with the unique narrative of others. It is the main reason I chose to go into medicine, a deep love of people. Also I am hoping through connecting with fellow surfers I can get unique tips on how to approach the next stages of my journey of life......it is a simple as that :)
Music, Movies, and Books
This is a tough thing to fill but recently I began to consume a massive amount of films so get ready: Zootopia! Dope Up Straight Out of Compton Chi-Raq Romeo + Juliet Hail Caesar Tomorrowland (although it was a flop) The Big Short
One Amazing Thing I've Done
went from a sitting a couch for most of my week, to a 5k and then a half marathon in 6 months Getting ready for the next challenge :) *cough* triathlon *cough* (remind me to share about the time I hiked a volcano too)
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach: I can teach you about various histories from the countries I have travelled to in Africa and the Americas. I can share cultural meals from many of these places. I can also teach anyone how to drum :) Learn: I would love to learn what you think is a huge area of growth for the community you live in and what you think you can do to change the reality. Also I would love to learn your favorite dance move. Share: I would love to share a conversation, coffee, and a funny joke with you as a hostee or if I get a change to host you!
What I Can Share With Hosts
My warm spirit A smile A GREAT meal (not to toot my own horn) Space (I will simple be present and enjoy the company) and Many Great Stories
My Interests
I love learning about different political beliefs and religious practices. It was never good manners at the dinner table, but nothing reveals the heart of a person more that the core attributes that drives them. I enjoy swimming, climbing, running (slowly), trying a new difficult sport, attempting to keep up with my little cousins (too much energy), meditation, journalling (infrequently), Food, eating, Food, eating and oh yeah food
