Howdy, my name is Allen Liu! I am cycling from Washington DC to Washington State in May - July 2019. I will be attending medical school at the University of Maryland in Baltimore come August, so if you wait a couple of years, I'll be your personal WebMD ;-)

In Baltimore, I will be interested in hosting and paying it forward.

I am a fairweather vegan, meaning that I only buy non-vegan items accidentally, but I will gladly reduce food waste by eating surplus non-vegan items, so I guess I'm freegan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Current listens: Lawrence,
Books: I like reading to learn, but a good story (fictional or not) often offers a wealth of knowledge. I do recommend Carl Zimmer (science) and Ethan Canin (well-researched fiction).
Movies: a little bit of everything but mostly the popular films of today and the last two decades
