I grew up in the Midwest (USA) as well as Bologna Italy. I just graduated from the University of Minnesota with my premed degree and am taking a year or two off before going back to medical school. I work full time as a medical scribe doing the charting and documentation for Emergency Room physicians allowing me to see medicine being practiced first hand. I love meeting new people and traveling. I plan to live mobile for the rest of my life moving from country to country. There is a need for doctors all over the world and I would love to experience different cultures and communities while also having the privilege to serve them medically.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From what I've gathered this is an amazing way to meet people from all around the world. I've met a dozen or so people who are on this site and so far they are all amazing people. It just seemed like something I wanted to be a part of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 8 I moved to Italy with my family. My parents were very laid back so they gave me a cell phone when I was 10 and let me roam the city with absolute freedom. I made friends with all sorts of people. I remember going out to a bar with a bunch of 25-30 year old friends. They said I was one guys nephew and I was their wing man for getting girls to come talk to them.

Teach, Learn, Share

Work Hard, Play Hard. Live a full life of love, enthusiasm, and adventure. The only renewable source of emotional energy comes from within. No drug, activity, or person is going to constantly build you up, only you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Oh boy... I can share my positive, energetic, Minnesota friendly attitude. I love to share all the medical knowledge I've learned from working in a hospital and studying medicine for the past 4 years (I still have so much to learn, I'm no expert). *** TBC
