CURRENT MISSION

Taking a year out of medicine to paint, practice ballet and think. I'm travelling around America before moving to an olive farm in Marathon, Greece - to set up a routine and continue my personal growth.

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in pretty much everything, am up for a conversation on most topics and love learning and helping others - I've dedicated my life to it. I'm warm and caring and enjoy looking after others, but with a deeply rooted, wild, adventure-driven streak (which has at times gotten me into both lots of fun and a bit of trouble). I've mellowed with my indoctrination into the professional world and treasure quiet reflecting time, but I'm definitely still up for pretty much anything if in the mood

PHILOSOPHY

What I wrote here 8 years ago still stands: All I know is that I know nothing.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The Camino de Santiago, also my placement at a rural Nepalese hospital, oh gee. And actually being such an oddball and getting through medical school - that's huge, go me!
