About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My life plan is to open up clinics in rural places in Mexico, Central and South America.

ABOUT ME

I love to have fun and enjoy life to the fullest. Traveling has been the greatest experience imaginable where I can talk to people and really learn from the world around me. I am Hispanic and enjoy being well-rounded and cultured and allowing my mind to be further opened as I travel and have such unique experiences with the human race.
I love to ski, rock climb, play basketball, play my violin and practice good medicine with my patients in the hospital. Traveling is by far my most favorite thing to do when I get a chance!!

PHILOSOPHY

We stop learning about the world around us when we die. There are far too many cultures, religions and views to feel as if ours is the only true way. So respect people, love life and help humanity one encounter at a time with a smile:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to host anyone within the next year after I graduate Medical School, but for now travel every 4 weeks to a new hospital for rotations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been able to couch surf in London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Rome. ALl of these experiences have been phenomenal and I am a huge advocate for this website and the ideas behind it. My friends laugh because if someone is talking about vacationing I immediately bring up CouchSurfing.com and go into ful detail about my experiences with such amazing people I have met along the way.

Interests

I love reading, music, being goofy, sports, running especially. I love to rock climb and bike. I love sitting on the beach and drinking a beer. I enjoy PEOPLE more than anything and talking to people about anything and everything trying to learn more and more about the world around me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen triple bypass surgeries and those are pretty cool to watch someone's heart beating inside their chest and hold it in your hands. Sorry, morbid, but I'm about to be a doctor! I am in love with medicine, but will not talk your ears off about it, haha.
