I'm happiest when surfing, rock climbing, or cooking...especially with friends, new and old. I've found another passion through medicine, and am beginning medical school in the U.S. this fall. Before the studying marathon begins I am ambitiously travelling, and couchsurfing is an important part of my travel plans. As a couchsurfer, I am very easy-going, clean, and will not be a burden at all on my hosts!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people in the places I go are often the most interesting and memorable part of the journey...I'm on couchsurfing to get glimpses of life from locals, to share stories, and connect with interesting people from all backgrounds.
