I'm a native Californian, but have lived for the past four years in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I just finished my second year of medical school, and decided to take a year off to travel/gain some life experience before resuming the pursuit of my MD.

I spent the first half of my year in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to teach art and English at the Palm Tree Foundation, an orphanage in Teuk Thla.

I've since moved to Beijing, China (as of Feb 15, 2016) and will be here until mid-May. I am currently working at Peking Union Medical College, but would love to make new friends and meet up after work and on weekends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to connect with fellow travelers and have people to hang out, exchange stories, and go on adventures with - everything is better with good company.
