I am a physician assistant and work in the intensive care unit. I work long hours in a high stress environment but I love what I do. There are certainly ups and downs but giving someone a second chance at life or holding their hand as they take their last breaths is something I will always treasure.

I recently did my first solo trip to south east Asia and absolutely loved it. I have a goal to visit 40 countries by 40. So far I have visited 24. My deadline is May 2021, will you help me on my journey?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live to travel around the world but prefer to live like a local. When I travel I want to immerse myself in the culture, feel the heart beat of the city and connect with people. I also enjoy spending time with others when I’m traveling as it enriches your experience. Getting tips from the locals on where to go and what to do is also the best way to maximize your time in a new place.

Music, Movies, and Books
