I am a licensed physician back home. Currently pursuing a Master's degree in Public Health and hoping to combine the two for better healthcare systems in developing countries.

I am very fond of traveling and love to learn more about other cultures especially the foods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started an internship at UNESCO and realized that it was going to be a great opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds and visit different countries to learn a little bit about each place I visit.

With CS, one can really meet different people and have a short but truly enriching travel experience by staying with locals. :)

I would LOVE to host but I am not staying in one place for long enough. :(

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I will honestly listen to any genre and then decide if I like that particular song or not. I do prefer instrumentals and songs with either great lyrics or strong vocals (if you can get all 3 - BINGO!)

Movies:
- Finding Neverland
- Shawshank Redemption
- Perfume
- The Lion King

Books: This changes a lot but my favorites are:
- Pride and Prejudice
- Far from the Madding Crowd
- Mayor of Casterbridge
- The Circle
- The Count of Monte Cristo
- The Kite Runner
- White Tiger
