About Me

ABOUT ME
I'm 26, studying medicine in the Caribbean and now working at different hospitals in the US for my final 2 years. I took a year off to travel around the world and it was by and the large the best thing I could have done. Looking at this as an opportunity to explore my very own backyard - the US!

PHILOSOPHY
If you're not learning something new every day, you're doing it wrong. Each day is a new experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Looking for some cool people with couches for March 2015 in New York. Gonna be working in the ER department in Brooklyn and would like to meet amazing people and try to save on rent. Don't worry, I come with a lot of booze/vice of choice and a promise of a good time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Only with friends of friends so far but everything has been great!

Interests

- Live Music - concerts, festivals, street performances
- Culture - films, plays, art galleries, museums, walking tours
- Food - anything and everything, total food hedonist
- Nightlife - more of a bar with a dancefloor than a club guy
- Staying active - yoga, swimming, surfing, gym

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to tie surgical knots, count to 10 in Thai, and the logistical nightmares of producing, editing and directing your own short film.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A driven adventure-seeking guy looking to meet interesting people. Also, random medical advice over beers. (You'd be surprised how many gross personal details I get told...as long as there's a drink in front of me first.)
