Emergency Doctor living in New Zealand permanently since 2023 but from the US. Fortunate enough to have traveled to a lot of interesting places and see some pretty amazing things. Generally open to new experiences and giving it a go, relatively unbothered by most things.

Haven't been active on Couchsurfing for a few years due to life circumstances and moving around for training.

I also like to travel often, so some dates aren’t available to stay with me if I’m out of town/have plans. I’ve tried to put most of those dates on the calendar.

It should go without saying, but I’m also here for my LGBTQ+ folks. You are most definitely welcome here. I don’t care who you are, just be nice 🙂
