Current medical studying studying general medicine in hopes of finishing and becoming a surgeon. Went to school for Commercial Aviation and use to work as a pilot before having a motorcycle accident that ended my flying career. Since the accident, I have become a paramedic in preparation for medical school and aspire to one day be able to help people the way I was helped at my lowest moment in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After realizing that my life could be taken away from me in the blink of an eye, I realized that my true passion in life was travelling. Therefore, I take every chance I can to get out of my comfort zone and take to the skies to see some new exotic place and meet some awesome new people. Since travelling and seeing so much of the world, my eyes have been opened and I have learned so much, not just about the people and cultures I meet, but also about me as a person. Couchsurfing and hostel hopping has broadened my horizons as a human being and I hope to share my experiences and travels with those I meet along the way.
