I'm a resident physician in Marysville, WA. I enjoy traveling when possible, and like to meet new people. I have one cat and a futon. I am usually pretty busy, but happy to host. Wanderers welcome :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and meet new people. It can be hard to navigate a city when you don't know anyone, and part of the charm of visiting a place is getting to know the locals. Couchsurfing makes cities and towns all over the world more welcoming.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am always interested in getting good music recommendations. Lean towards folk and rock, but I like a bit of everything.

Favorite movies include Harold and Maude, Waking Life, and Life is Beautiful. Anything with 'Life' in the name. Or 'Maude'.

As for books, right now I'm on an Edith Perlman kick. A perennial favorite is Neil Gaiman, and for laughs, Douglas Adams and Christopher Moore are nice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Contracted schistosomiasis after swimming in Lake Volta, Ghana.
