I'm an aspiring physician/filmmaker, with a B.S. in screen arts and culture (aka film studies) and a minor in creative writing. I am starting medical school in fall 16'. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar, reading, and watching movies . My favorite spots are my bed and the coffee shop, although every now and then you can find me at the gym.

Oh, and I love all sorts of pets and animals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people-- hearing their stories, learning from their experience, and making friends with different backgrounds. Moreover, Couch surfing seems like the best way to experience a city; that is, with the help of a local who knows the area, its people, food and culture.

Interests

all types of art-- music, film, writing, drawing; new places and adventures; physics and math, science and medicine; all board games especially Settlers of Catan and Chess; having fun socializing with friends over drinks/coffee
