CURRENT MISSION

My mission at the moment is to further my education beyond classrooms by learning through experiences where I interact with others

ABOUT ME

I am currently intern in my pediatric neurology residency;

I enjoy traveling and meeting others. I love hearing people's stories and learning from their experiences because I know they can contribute so much to my own accumulation of knowledge

I am a very active person. I love sports. I will play anything from soccer, to volleyball, to tennis. I actively practice martial arts. I also really enjoy running. I hope that one day, with the current training I have started, to be able to run a marathon. I feel at home when I am in the wilderness. I love experiencing what nature offers us and I take advantage of nature by hiking when I am given the chance, which does not really happen in Houston.

I am also happy staying still and reading a book or watching a movie. I try to read as many books as possible during the summer when I finally take a break from my studies. I love films and I will sit down and watch a couple of films on a rainy day.

I also have a love for drawing. It is something that truly makes me happy. I need to devote more time to this hobby.

This year I have picked up playing classical guitar. At the moment I am not that great, but with practice I will be able to play music for myself and for others

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life expecting that one day I will be able to bring joy to others. We are on the earth for a very short amount of time and we could die any day. Everybody's time on earth should be filled with joy. Since I have the means and have been privileged for the majority of my life, I want to be able to give everyone equal opportunity to live an easy and fulfilling life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spending six months in Italy during high school were the most memorable six months of my life. I hope to have other moments such as that in my life . I also spent my 2012 summer traveling in Europe for almost a month. I met so many interesting people with some many things to share. It makes on realize how he differences we see between one another are so trivial.
