I wish I could host people, but I'm between apartments at the moment, we'll see if my new roommates are open to sharing our couch next year! I grew up on the other side of the world and have a bad case of wanderlust. The desire to heal and connect with people has driven me towards a life in medicine, and I hope to share my talents/knowledge with as many people as possible around the world. Ask me about Osteopathic Medicine, Martial Arts, and Buddhism and I'll be happy to share what I know!

P.S. I love to relieve pain with my hands, ask for a treatment if you're comfortable with that :)

My top movies are: Mad Max: Fury Road, Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart, Hero, Pirates of the Caribbean (the first one of course), Lord of the Rings to name a few.

Books: Anything philosophy/science-related (right now I'm reading The Universe and Dr. Einstein)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Couldn't choose one so I'll put two:

Went to Thailand June 2018 for a medical global health trip where we set up free-clinics in poor villages in the rain forest near Myanmar (Burma). During the day, we rushed around providing what care we had the materials for; in the evening, we went on adventures to waterfalls (during a thunderstorm... at night... bad planning), Chinese tea plantations, and hot springs.

I also trekked from France into Italy along the historic invasion path of Hannibal Barca with a high school friend. The crossing was 6 days long and was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Ask me about either anytime!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am in the process of learning about yoga/meditation/buddhism and wish to share that with as many people as I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my knowledge of science, philosophy, spirituality, and healing with those who host me. My experience with osteopathic medicine is something that I am more than happy to discuss, and possibly perform for the relief of pain/discomfort.
