CURRENT MISSION

World Traveler...visit every continent before I die!

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm currently living in Barcelona, Spain conducting research on the Spanish health care system. I've been here for 4 months so far and love the experience and the people I met. I have worked in health care for 2.5 years and am passionate about the industry, and am pursuing a master's when I return to the US in July 2011. Until then, I will be travelling as much as I can as often as I can!

PHILOSOPHY

Live, laugh, love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have heard great things from fellow CS Members I met in hostels. I like the open community of people who wish to share their experiences. I want to help spread my positive experiences in any way I can

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had many friends stay at my place here in Barcelona that I met through my program. I enjoy cooking when I am surfing, and getting a local view of the town. I also like to show people the great sites my town has to offer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share
