CURRENT MISSION

Be proud of each day

ABOUT ME

I try to live my life so that at any moment, I can turn around and be proud of what I've accomplished. I like seeing new places, but I also appreciate the comforts that a home can provide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm brand new to couch surfing. I'm just looking into it for a trip out West, but plan to offer to host some surfers when I get back. It seems like a great way to regain a sense of community in a world that's a little too fractured.

Interests

I work in global health, and I think international and domestic health issues are some of the most compelling problems facing the world today. In my spare time, I like to find ways to get outside (though in the summer in Georgia, that can be tough).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and seen Mt. Everest in person (but I didn't even try to make it up that one...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a great knitter and a VERY elementary mandolin player. And I know a lot about global health and epidemiology too.
