Just finished my first cross country biking tour through Thailand, Malaysia, and Cambodia. Currently backpacking through Vietnam and am looking forward to meeting as many people as I can along the way!

I am an MCAT instructor and nursing assistant with a degree in Neurobiology. I am taking a couple years off before medical school to travel to Central America, Colombia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Morocco (only 5 months left!) I love to hike, salsa and bachata, I'm a hardcore coffee addict, and I use couchsurfing to meet up with both travelers and locals to learn about other parts of the world, their cultures and attitudes! I love a good chat over coffee so message me if we are in the same area! I especially love meeting other solo female travelers!
