CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, pursue my passions, and make an impact on people

ABOUT ME

Instead of piling up a bucket list of things I want to do and places I want to visit, I follow my dreams and turn "someday" into "now." I'm adventurous and spontaneous, loyal and generous, fun and easy-going. I pursue my goals and passions whole-heartedly. Some of my interests I've followed are dolphin training in Bermuda, instructing scuba diving in Honduras, studying Muay Thai kick boxing in Thailand, leading medical relief trips in Nepal and India, dancing/acting in New York City, attending culinary school in Paris, and skateboarding down the Pacific coast of Ecuador. My current adventure: pursuing a fellowship in wilderness, austere, and international disaster medicine based out of San Antonio TX!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard about CouchSurfing while traveling around Europe and it seemed like a simple and fun way to get to know an area and meet great people. I have "surfed" a few times in my travels in France, Ecuador and on a road trip across the US. Everyone I stayed with was so amazing. This is the perfect way to make some friends and really get to know a new place. Whenever I have my own home base, I love giving back to this awesome community by hosting people!
