ABOUT ME

Describing yourself is difficult, but others have called me funny, interesting, intelligent, inquisitive, and kind.

I'm originally from Pittsburgh, PA, but I've been attending medical school in Iowa since 2010.

I speak Japanese but these days I'm mainly just conversational.

Aside from that, you're free to meet me and form your own opinion! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Keizoku wa chikara nari (perseverence is power)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because of med school, I can't really host, but I do occasionally need to crash elsewhere, and I promise to be the best guest ever!
