I am a 25-year old traveler and former forensic scientist who's currently exploring Europe, North Africa, and South America before I start my medical studies this summer. My most important goal is working on my Spanish and French while travelling. I'm hoping to meet fellow travelers with cool stories and experiences as I make my way through Europe. Aside from that I'm especially interested in sports, arts, good museums, and music. I go back to the U.S. in July to start medical school and hope to pay it forward by hosting people in Nashville.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I tried the Everyman sleep cycle for one and half days. It was brutal.
