CURRENT MISSION

To be able to see the world

ABOUT ME

Emergency Medicine doctor fresh out of residency. Now that I'm finally working I have no excuse when I have time off. I have a couple of two week vacations every year, so I plan on adding a stamp to my passport every time I have one. I love to explore places without having to be too pampered. I feel like the whole point of traveling is to see life in the eyes of others and I am definitely not the swanky resort type.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that you are only given a finite amount of seconds and they should be used to experience the world as a whole and make a whole hearted effort to change it for the better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just got on here, so I'm looking to host fun people on my couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to this site. Hopefully I can meet people from around the world and share their experiences.

Interests

I like to volunteer as a mentor. I was a part of the big brothers big sisters program for two years. I like to participate in medical missions, my most recent one was this past April. I also like to keep in shape by playing basketball and working out to relieve stress.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed up the citadelle in Cap Haitien. Was more than a 10 mile walk in the caribbean heat. Was exhausted afterwards, but it was all worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning from other people who are passionate about something. I also like learning from people who are completely different than me.. I feel like experiences make you a more well rounded person

A nice, comfortable couch and possibly a drink if I'm not too busy.
