About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the woooorld!!! -on a burget-

ABOUT ME

They'd probably say I'm funny... I'm a bit of a goofball. I think they think I'm fearless and adventurous. I'm an honest and loyal friend. They would probably also say i'm stubborn. (HAHAHA)I'm a world wanderer at heart, though... or at least I wish. I like experiencing other cultures, walking on lands other than my own and eating food typical of other regions :D

PHILOSOPHY

Keep an open mind and learn from others. Experience the world. Never say never. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Work hard. Don't forget your roots. Have a hungry brain :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I just started. I'm on the road so I don't really have a place until August... I'm looking to couchsurf ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new...

Interests

I'm a nerd and an athletic couch potato... I'm a bioengineer so I like sciency stuff. I'm starting grad school in August so I'm pretty excited about that! I love medicine, science, anime, dogs, food and planet Earth. I also love mountain sports. I LOVE snow. LOVE it! I like to roll around in the dirt and enjoy nature. I love snowboarding, climbing and mountain biking and apparently do not get along with poison ivy. Sadly I'm pretty busy with work and school stuff but I spend my little free time with my friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing in front of Havasu Fall in Havasupai. Seeing and feeling the power of the water, hearing it roar and taking in it's beauty was breathtaking... I actually finally understood where the term "breathtaking" came from. It left me speechless.

Staring at Machu Picchu from above as the clouds uncovered it and the sun hit it directly filtering through the clouds. I knew it was one of the wonder of the world but i didn't really grasped it until I saw it in person and walked through it's streets. I then understood why it is truly a wonder

Having an andean condor fly 1 meter over my head. those birds are majestically huge! and they create wind turbulence that you will feel!

Experiencing the human part of medicine. That is pretty powerful.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lesson 1: mmm... stay away from poison ivy! it will burn for TWO days!
Lesson 2: never give up.
Lesson 3: try it yourself.
