ABOUT ME

My friends describe me as a nice, fun, down to earth person. I'm currently a first year medical student in the United States, and I am taking advantage of my last free summer to backpack through Europe! I really enjoy travelling because I love learning about other cultures, exploring cities, and meeting people of all different backgrounds.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a strong believer of being kind, respectful, honest, and nonjudgmental towards others. But most importantly, we should live life to the fullest and do what makes us happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm hoping to meet a variety of people this summer while my friend and I are in Europe. As long as school permits, I am looking forward to hosting people as well once I return back to the States.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time to use CS, but it's something I'm looking forward to. Ready to travel throughout Europe and meet great people along the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to go "snuba-ing" while I was in Roatan, Honduras this past March. Snuba is essentially like Scuba diving, but instead of having an oxygen tank on your back, the tank sits in an inflatable raft above you, allowing you go up to 30 feet below water while being supplied with oxygen the entire time. Roatan is home to the second largest coral reef preserves behind the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The water was beautifully clear and it really is like a different world being under water and being able to see millions of fish and coral reefs. It was an incredible experience and I loved every second of it!
