Academic vagabond, biology enthusiast, newly minted doctor. . . roamed around the Caribbean Nature Isle of Dominica from Jan 2009 - May 2012. I grew up in a small rural town in NJ (if you can believe it) which fostered an immense appreciation for the outdoors. I enjoy hiking, scuba, snowboarding, yoga, kayaking, biking, climbing, etc. etc. I love to challenge myself physically & mentally. I travel as much as can when I have time. By becoming a doctor, I hope to use my healing abilities at home and all over the world.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted a couple of times so far, looking forward to surfing more at some point

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've enjoyed showing a surfer the unique features that Dominica has to offer. I just wished I could've taken him around more, but working at the hospital took priority.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Honestly, we don't have the luxury of hanging out very often, or showing people around Norfolk because we work so much. If you surf with us, all you can definitely count on is a place to stay. If the timing is right, we might be free to have some fun.
