I recently graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont, USA with a double degree in English Literature and Biology. After 6 months of working odd jobs to save money, I'm traveling around Europe for two months! I plan to go to medical school when I come back to the states, to work with underserved people as their primary care physician.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This seems like a great way to meet the most welcoming people in a strange city.

"Tourists don't know where they've been. Travelers don't know where they're going." - not sure of source but I aspire to the idea

Interests

I love running, especially on trails. I like Hip hop music, drinking beers, hiking, and hitch-hiking from time to time. I have downhill skied since I was a toddler.

Music, Movies, and Books

Americanah by Chimananda Ndichie, A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin (hopefully he finishes it), Veep, Rick and Morty, A Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've tested the effect of BPA (a chemical in plastics) on cow ovaries. It's a pseudo-estrogen and the ovaries (including ours, unfortunately) have not fared well

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my perspective on whatever the hell is going on in my country. I'd love to learn about your culture and whatever you enjoy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach a yoga class if you want :) or I can just hang out and tell you about where I've been and listen to your stories as well.
