I am a world traveler. Wondered around six continents and many countries within.

I am a life long learner.

Helping people through medicine and education is my passion.

I embrace the natural environment. I recently transitioned careers from international outdoor education to nursing and full-student.

I am a proud father of my baby girl Azana.

My efforts now are with the intent to influence the world in a greater way in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To seek refuge through this educational/career translational journey.

To receive benevolence from gracious hosts. To stay in touch and to be a benevolent giver to those in need today and tomorrow.

To make acquaintances, associates, and potentially friends.
